User Account Permissions and Access

[valtam]

Welcome ke5wxw. What you're asking for is not impossible, but if you're new to linux I would venture to say you need a high level of confidence on the command line to achieve such a unique request. I believe what you're looking for is something called SUID, there are some examples here - http://www.linuxnix.com/2011/12/suid-set...xunix.html and you would set those permissions on the executable of the program. I'm not entirely happy about a new user trying this, there is no gui way of doing it that I know of. This could get extremely messy and even corrupt your system if your not 100% accurate with what you are doing. I would dodge this if I were you for now. But hey, its up to you.
