well, this type of situation can depend on several factors..

do the "sudoers" all have full permission? if so then just make the script owned and executable by root only

otherwise you could explicitly list this script in the /etc/sudoers file under each user or group that needs to execute it.

You should be handling this logic in the /etc/sudoers file, not a script itself.
