Create a Cmnd_Alias in /etc/sudoers like:

Cmnd_Alias APACHEADMIN = /usr/bin/systemctl start apache2, /usr/bin/systemctl restart apache2, /usr/bin/systemctl stop apache2

Then add a line for the user privilege:

jsmith  ALL = NOPASSWD: APACHEADMIN

Hey man thanks, but it doesnt work. I still get the Info to do this thing as sudo/root. I think I need the rights for the Service that i will change too, or something like this. – Just a dude Apr 25 '19 at 17:19

Try to use the --user switch. From systemctl(1)

--user
Talk to the service manager of the calling user, rather than the

service manager of the system.

You may follow the instruction of this post.
