It works this way interactively as well as in a script:
$ touch komisch
$ ll komisch
-rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 0 Apr 5 14:40 komisch
$ chown administrators.root komisch
$ ll komisch
-rw-rw-r-- 1 Administrators root 0 Apr 5 14:40 komisch
$ chmod 600 komisch
$ ll komisch
-rw-rw---- 1 Administrators root 0 Apr 5 14:40 komisch
$
