Hello everybody,

I am trying to learn, how could I  restrict  the users, from  running the
 specific commands. like rm or rmdir or anything else in this case.

On the other hand I am trying to look into rbash the restricted
shell, whether, any thing good it  can do for this requirement


Thank you.

In Ubuntu edit the sudoers file in /etc folder, you can come across allow
members of group sudo to execute any command. There you insert a new text
"username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: command path to execute like /sbin/shutdown
etc..".

Also make sure the user is in standard account privilege.
