Not precisely what you are requesting, but the "sudo" command could be 
used to allow your admin root access to certain commands only.

See "man sudo" and "man visudo".  The /etc/sudoers file has examples of 
this sort of functionality, but should only be edited using the visudo 
utility.

You can look into "chroot"ing, where the other person has a different
root directory, and all the sub-directories, and you copy the commands
that they're allowed to use into their directory tree.

Of course, to do this properly, you also need to make sure that they
can't use a compiler, else they can create their own commands.
