sudo is a standard way to give users some administrative rights without giving out the root password. This can also be configured for non root users as well.

vi /etc/sudoers and add the following line
Syntax:
       user hosts = (runas) commands

vi /etc/sudoers and add the following line

Syntax:

user hosts = (runas) commands

# user john is allowed to run some_script.sh as jack with no password
john ALL = (jack) NOPASSWD: /work/some_script.sh

1 2	# user john is allowed to run some_script.sh as jack with no password john ALL = (jack) NOPASSWD: /work/some_script.sh

# Any user part of the opsgrp will be allowed to mount and unmount squashfiles as root with no password.
User_Alias OPSACC = %opsgrp
OPSACC ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/mount -t squashfs -o loop *, /bin/umount -t squashfs *

# Any user part of the opsgrp will be allowed to mount and unmount squashfiles as root with no password.

User_Alias OPSACC = %opsgrp
