Short answer - there is no simple way.
You really should not have ordinary users with access to root.

There are good workarounds. One is to use sudo: grant specific access to a user for a specific set of commands and log when the user executes a command.

What UNIX system(s) are we talking about here? Without exact information it is impossible to give decent answers
