You may also want to look at the Remote User Access contrib

Thanks, johnp. I have used the remote user access contrib in the past. A fine contrib, but not quite what I am looking for this time.

You can add software contribs using the existing panel in server manager, so allow users to have access via user manager.

Possibly you want to grant access to the command line interface, so add specific users to /etc/sudoers and specify what rights they have.
Google for
su command
and
sudoer users
for more details
Remember to setup appropriate path statements for each user

Kind of where I was going with the other contrib

I see that with remote user access installed I can allow selected users to run the software update. What I don't see is how to add contribs. For example, when I enabled "manage individual packages" and review the list of available packages, I cannot find one that might be the remote user access contrib. Perhaps it is all there but I don't know the names of the necessary components. I only know it as "smeserver-remoteuseraccess".

With "manage individual packages" disabled, I see quite a few repos, but I don't see a way to add a new contrib such as remote user access.
