I believe AIX supports the notion of "roles". You can assign various tasks
to particular users, without giving them root access.
You also may want to investigate sudo.

Subject: Administrative accounts
(resending this, not sure it went out as our smtp server was down.)
Greetings,
Are there any docs floating around that describe groups/roles and/or UIDs
that you use for setting up administrative accounts? The documentation in
the AIX library doesn't cover it very in-depth.
I would like to setup accounts that can create users, setup/restart print
queues and do other various system level task but without granting a UID of
0 (zero). This would be for an AIX 5.1/5.2 environment.
Does IBM have a doc (or any of you) that describes methods and best
practices for such tasks?
thanks,
-shawn
