I have a user with limited access on the system (that is, he is not a sudoer); let's call him Bob.
I have a script or a binary which I, the system administrator, trust, and would have no problems running it as root; let's call the script print-log.sh. The job of this script is to read data from a "private" (owned by a user/group other than Bob, or even root) file located in /srv/secret-log, and only output lines from that file that a user has clearance to read (let's say this is "government style" clearance level, unrelated to whatever permissions users may have in their Unix system).
The file /srv/secret-log is protected by Unix permissions, so users like Bob are not allowed to access the file directly. They are, however, allowed to run the print-log.sh script, which is allowed to access the file and return the "filtered" data to Bob.
To summarize (the TL;DR version):
- Bob can't read the protected file
- The script can read the protected file
- At any time, Bob can run the script which can read the file
Is it possible to do this within Unix file permissions?
