what exactly is your problem and when/where you are getting issues...
So that we can try to solve it in some other way instead of chmod....

why dont you try as garethr said...

I have this File

-rw------- 1 user1 staff 1 Jun 15 11:53 File

The Owner of the file for user1 and the permissions read and write only for the Owner it self

The owner group of the file is staff , I want to let anyone in the group of staff to be able to change the permission or to take full control on the file to do what ever ..

I think my idea is clear is there any clue ?

If you don't have read permission then you can't do much unless you are root.
