Would like to stop service authentication

Hello All.

I'm trying start services as an Admin user on CentOS 7. I'm able to start the service as the user but it prompts me for a password. How do I get the user to start a service without being prompted? For example; If I attempt to start the sendmail service as my user2, I receive the following:

Code:
[user2@sserver2 ~]$ systemctl start sendmail
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to manage system services or units.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
 1.  user1
 2.  user2
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-2):

How do I stop this?
