I'm not sure how granular you want to get with permissions but the easiest way would be to create a group with the desired permissions on the share then use the orchestrator workflow "Add user to user group" to add the user to that group when the service is requested.

If that doesn't suit your needs, take a look at how you could achieve it with powershell then use the powershell plugin in orchestrator to run your script. Either way you would want to create a workflow in orchestrator and publish it using the advanced service designer to the vCAC catalog.

If  you are trying to do it as part of machine Provisioned you can achieve it using vCAC Guest Agent Similar this post you can write your own Custom script and execute it as part of the provisioning(StorageGumbo: vCAC - Add VM Requester to Windows Local Admin Group) or if you don't want to use Guest Agent then you can directly hook vCO workflows to do it after machine provisioned using the Powers-hell scripts. If you want to do it as an ASD Day 2 action then you have follow as @echotome mentioned.
