Using chuser and stopudt without root

Question

I am trying to create a user account that can preform certain commands via command line without having to login as root. The commands I want to run are stopudt, chuser, chpasswd. What I have tried is setting the admin flag to true and putting it in the security group... this allows me to run execute the command but it tells me I do not have permission as seen below:

$ chuser account_locked=true ds10
Error changing "account_locked" to "true" : You do not have permission.

Is there a way I can create a user account that has access to chuser, stopudt and chpasswd without root access? Thank you!

Yes, you can. Install and configure sudo package. This will permit you to do the task
