Alternative would be to implement sudo to allw the commands you specify.

In order to let the user do what you wish he either needs to be the owner of the file or needs to be a member of the group that owns the file. If he isn't one of those then sudo is the simplest way of allowing what you want.

Unless you can tell us what will not work if you change the group ownership of the logfile as ITHelper suggested.

AIX Version 6.1 and 7.1. I understand that when the OS initially creates the FS and inodes, its pretty strict, but not always tuned to a 1:1 ratio.
