How to create a user in UNIX with some limited permissions?
As i know, Unix or Linux only manages 2 type of user: root user or normal user.
All users with userID=0 will have all administration permissions like root user with the system.
In my case, i want to create a new user in HP-UNIX environment with all root permissions only one exception that this user will not be able to create or delete or modify other existing users in current system.
Could you help me?
Thanks so much for your support,

ikisite-wrapper
ikisite-wrapper(1) General Commands Manual ikisite-wrapper(1)
NAME
ikisite-wrapper - suid wrapper for ikisite
SYNOPSIS
ikisite-wrapper subcommand options
DESCRIPTION
ikisite-wrapper is a wrapper around ikisite. It is designed to be safely made suid root, though it is not currently suid by default.
A few ikisite subcommands can be run using the wrapper without any authorisation at all. These include: create, branch, list, sitelookup,
checklock, updatecustomersite, and enabledns. So making the wrapper suid allows any user to create a site.
Other ikisite subcommands can only be run using the wrapper by users who specify a nonce in the IKISITE_NONCE environment variable. These
include: delete, changesetup, domains, and deletenonce.
A site's current nonces are stored in its .ikisite-nonce file. A nonce can be generated by root or the site's user via using the creat-
enonce subcommand, but it's usually generated by passing --createnonce to the create or branch subcommands. This allows anyone to create or
branch a site and then use the nonce to allow further configuration of it (and delete it if something goes wrong).
Subcommands that can be called by the wrapper either without or with a nonce should be sure to fully validate their inputs.
