Yes.

FWIW I just spent nearly a quarter of an hour digging through man diskutil and discovered a whole lot of things diskutil can do that I was unaware of including..
  • realizing Disk Utility is a GUI offering access to a subset of diskutil of the diskutil verbs
  • diskutil can add/change/remove ownership
  • the diskutil verb resetUserPermissions has apparently been removed along with any other verb relating to permissions (or at least no longer listed in man diskutil)
