enable user to have access to crontab file of a specified user

how we can privileged a user to use "crontab [ -e, -l, or -r options] username" , to edit, list, or remove the
crontab file of a specified user.

The only user that can edit a different users crontab is root.

 

If you want usera to be able to edit the crontab file for userb then you will have to use something like 'sudo' to allow that.
