Here is a way to do that:

Im going to assume you are unix.
Get the pmtools and change the ownerships to some priveledged user
Make some shell scripts under that user that call specific pmtools with
command line parameters (or read from a file). Do it with a wrapper
program so the shell takes on the userid of the shell.
Then they can execute the specific shell scripts you named but not the
actual commands.
Or you could do this in a cgi sort of fashion and put the results into a
web page. Use cgiwrap or suExec.
