You could simply add some Sudo rules allowing the user to perform that
command.
Alternatively, you can write a polkit rule to describe the permissions.
For example, the following would give permission for a particular
user to restart a particular service:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units" &&
action.lookup("unit") == "example.service" &&
action.lookup("verb") == "restart" &&
subject.user == "username") {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
See the AUTHORIZATION RULES section of the polkit(8) manpage for further
details.
