Create a Shell with Limited access of commands

Question

I have to give ssh access to a user, but i want them to execute only limited command set like ifconfig, ip link,restart apache etc. but not adduser etc. Please someone point me in the right direction

Look for `sudoers` (`man sudoers`, or search for tutorials , e.g. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-edit-the-sudoers-file-on-ubuntu-and-centos or https://www.garron.me/en/linux/visudo-command-sudoers-file-sudo-default-editor.html). — ridgy, May 14 '17 at 10:29

You don't create a restricted shell to do this. These commands need root access, so start by giving them access to a normal user, without root access. Then, use sudo to grant them access to specific commands. Is it possible to give sudo access to only a particular command?
