[NTLUG:Discuss] su?

I need to allow an ordinary iuser to create files and change the
ownership of the file to another account. The other account is
www, which is used by a Front-Page enabled web server. (It's an
AIX system we're talking about, but I know you folks will know
what to do.)
 
The easiest way to do this, obviously, would be to allow user A
to su to the www account. But is this even possible? 

I guess my question is: how do I give a single, ordinary user,
the ability to act as a special user such as www, without giving
him root access? 

Any thoughts?
