Sounds like a job for pfexec and a role...

I have a script that one of our developers uses to run a backup job
from cron. It uses public key auth to log in to the remote box so it
doesn't prompt for password.
Now he wants to add a step whereby within the script, it will su to
another user (service account) and run a different command, but of
course it prompts for that user's password.
How can I allow "su - otheruser" without a password prompt, similar to
how root can always su to another account?
Thanks,
