set permissions on service

[Patrick Connolly]

Is there a way to set permissions on individual services to allow a
user/group of users to restart that service without giving the users admin
permissions?

Thanks

There is a couple of ways as described in the link below by using security
templates or the command line tool subinacl. Subinacl is not exactly user
friendly so you may also want to try a free third party tool called setacl.
Note the user would also need the permissions to start any services that the
service "depends on" as shown in the service properties if any in case they
are stopped. --- Steve
