If the users and groups are the same on the system, the -a option
to rsync should preserve owner, group, and permissions.

One can also use rsync modules in the rsyncd.conf file to specify
user and group.  Using rsync modules also has the advantages of
restricting access to the directory specified in the module, and
can also restrict access based on IP addresses.

reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating
the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for
