This issue appears to be a significant stumbling block for new people and experienced alike. Probably fits most logically at the end of 3.7. Running the Interactive Installer.

I thought this was a duplicate of #3043830: Add Securing file permissions and ownership page, but I see that they are not quite the same... definitely related though!

Thanks for the issue and all of the details! We might want to combine it with the other issue...

Here's a proposed patch, which adds a step to the "Running the interactive installer" page and a link to a section of docs on drupal.org that tells how to update file permissions (among other information):
https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/install-run.html
links to:
https://www.drupal.org/server-permissions
(that is the same page linked to in the warning message that users will see)

Patch looks good. And I like that we link to the community documentation for tips on how to resolve this since as is mentioned earlier there's a lot of nuance depending on your specific environment.
