A normal user cannot do anything harmful to the system unless he is provided
*root priveleges*.
If the requirement is just to restart a service, all you need to do is to
make crontab run that command as a user whenever required. Yes, you can
restrict the user to issue only that command & he cannot do anything else
with that. You can also restrict a user by not allowing him to use a
particular command.
