Role based access control is supported by HP and is pretty slick. I use sudo on linux and osx, but found RBAC to be a much better product. The latest version includes a wrapper shell (privsh) that allows users to run authorized commands like they would logged in as root. RBAC uses audit logs and is very configurable. Definitely worth a look. Not sure if it is supported on 11.11 and older versions...
