I am not familiar with the Jetbrains issue, but have you tried using rsync ${your_existing_options} --no-owner --no-perms or something along that line? Or did you already cover that and I missed it? Apologies in advance if so. Those options have existed for a long time so every current version of rsync on every OS should support it. --no-owner --no-perms will just leave ownership and permissions as they are on the destination. It will override owner/perm alias in -a even if the archive flag is used.
