I have a new hosted VM server that I want to allow a user to be able to edit files owned by root, but without giving them the root password.
If you allow someone to edit root owned files, you're practically giving him root access. So the fact that he doesn't know the root password is totally irrelevant; he doesn't even need the password anymore to gain root access since he already has that access.
So you might want to rethink the way you want to allow him to edit those files.
