I'm having some trouble extracting from all the various posts on the
Internet on using RBAC to solve a problem.

The issue is, I need to create a profile (I think) that has a specific set
of capabilities so that a "user" which has that profile assigned can run
those tasks in a script. (It therefore can't be interactive - no password
prompts).

I'd like it to be very granular -

1. Be able to stop MySQL service, run a backup script and restart the MySQL
service
2. Not be able to stop/start other services
3. Not have root-like abilities everywhere in the file system, just copy
specific files to specific locations on the local server.

When I started looking at this the other day, I was thinking of using sudo
with no password for the specific commands and tasks. But people on this
list said they think it sounds like a job for RBAC. I think I'm just
confused about what to do.

If someone can give me some direction on how to get started, I'll work on
it from there. For example, I found a profile that will allow the user to
start and stop all services, but I can't find how to enable only the one
(in my case MySQL) service specifically.

Thanks,
