In Linux you can setup and use the "sudo" option. For those whom you don't wish to have root

Sure, you mean like this command:
sudo su root
If properly (mis)configured.
On the other hand, you can provide very limited root access on a
command-by-command and user-by-user basis with more complex sudo
configurations, and while the first request will ask for a password,
further requests within the configured authorization timeout will still
be logged even if the user isn't asked for their password.
