Wow, I COMPLETELY missed this post... sorry if I'm late with an answer.
Two things:
1. How to set an EXECUTABLE to run AS root: Chmod 6755 <executable name>
The 6 sets the Set-UID Flag :)
2. How to set a USER as SUPERVISOR: Easiest way, edit /etc/passwd change
the
<username>:x:<number>:<number>:etc
to
<username>:x:0:0:etc
