User creation (with only read only access)
I need to create a user with least permission on the production server.
He should only be able to read or execute the files that to be specific.
For example:
I just need to give him a set of commands to run.Besides those command execution He should be prevented to run any other command and He should not able to create any files(write permission).

How would i proceed about this.
