By default, Mac OS X just complies to the standard unix file security model.
This means that:
1. a regular user may not change the owner of any file
2. a regular user may change the group of a file he owns, provided he
belongs to the new group
3. user root may change the owner and group of any file
4. only the owner of a file or user root may change a file's permission
("file" meaning any filesystem object)
Just do some trials thru the Finder's "Info for..." window: as soon as
you try to override the above rules, you'll be asked for an
administrator's name/password.
Of course, these rules apply as well to an AppleScript script run by you
(ie from your user account).
So, you need to obtain sufficent privileges.
From AppleScript, there is the
do shell script "..." with administrator privileges
command from the Standard Additions, which allows you to run shell
commands as user root.
The shell script itself (the one within the double quotes) would very
likely involve "chown" and "chmod".
Unless you somewhat perversely call osascript to tell the Finder to set
group privileges of ... ;-)
HTH,
Axel
