Hello!

Maybe this question have more elegant answer, but I'd try to solve this by custom folder rule. The easy way to make this would be:

write your .js script, which will be:
1. check type of created node (JS API has function .getTypeShort() for this);
2. if type = your custom type:
  1. disable inheritance .setInheritsPermissions(false); to avoid conflits besides your custom permissions and default Alfresco permissions. Maybe you have to disable permissions for some default .removePermission();
  2. set custom permissions by function .setPermission(); to your custom groups;
drop it in /companyhome/Data Dictionary/Scripts
go to space (folder) there will be document of this type created;
click "manage rules";
Perform Action: execute script -> pick your script from the list
