Eh, just let him login as root if you want this. This really does not make any sense. What are you trying to protect? You are going to give the user root privileges so give him the password and don´t create mess in the system.

This isn't windows. We don't have sissy "Administrator" accounts. :wink:

How about this:
Make all the directories owned by the same group with permissions g+rwx. Then make the user a member of this group.
