Maybe you should take a look at the sudo command, it might do what you
want. Sudo allows normal users to run specific programs as the root
user. I suggest you read the sudo-related manual pages:

man sudo
man sudoers

The last man page covers the /etc/sudoers file, which specifies which users
are allowed to do what.

I haven't used sudo myself, so I'm afraid I cannot tell you more.
