You don't need sudo for this. Change the group owner of these
protected entities to a new group "foo-changers" and then chgrp the
resources you want to protect. Edit the "/etc/groups" file, using
whatever tool seems best for you, adding those users you want to have
write access.
That's what file permissions are all about.
Cheers
