you can use sudo for this

except sudo, any other safest way...

sudo is the safest way, as adding a new user with UID 0 would quite possibly create much more problems than it's worth.

Code:
# vi /etc/sudoers 
## or 
# /usr/local/sbin/visudo

add this line to sudoers
Code:
user_id ALL = NOPASSWD: comm1,comm2 
## or all commds
user_id ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

Code:
$ su - user_id
## execute commands as root
$ sudo commands
