Creating multiple constrained admin roles

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a number of admin roles, 
each with limited access to specified admin features, e.g. package 
management only, NIC / Firewall management only, policy management only 
etc and to effectively completely remove the root account as a system 
wide administrator using selinux?

I have seen mention of Kiosk Users and the SELinux play machine (sadly 
my corporate network does not allow global ssh access) so I believe this 
is entirely possible, but am not entirely sure of the best resources to 
delve into so any pointers would be very welcome.

Many Thanks,

Tim
