You can run an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES for each user.

But often it is better to have only one role own the tables. If all roles that may create
tables are members of the rw-role, you can give CREATE on the schema only to that role,
and anybody who wants to create an object has to SET ROLE "rw-role".
