Limited linux-user for Nginx configs

Question

I want to give access for support team to add/modify Nginx-configs and apply changes in our web-server (Oracle Linux 6 64bit). There are not problems to give restricted file-access to nginx conf directory only. But how to give permissions to reload/restart nginx proccess only?

Can somebody give me advice how to setup restricted access for support-team to manage nginx configs and apply changes (without permissions to browse files in other folders and without permissions to manage other processes)?

You can use sudo for this, as documented here: https://gist.github.com/sheharyarn/f3d98e8cc859f092532b
