There is a tool called sudo.

It lets you assign admin privileges to certain commands or sets.

Here is the depot
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/sudo-1.6.7p5/

swinstall -s /full_path_of_depot \*

Then read the man and you're ready.

Depending on your users and your needs you may also want to look at using Restricted Sam to build the functions you need.

#sam -r

see "man sam" for more info.
