The first two items are trivial to setup, just add the user to the
appropriate group.  The others, IMHO, should be run as root.  Mounting
additional tmp space, adding users, configuring firewalls and loading
kernel modules all count as privileged operations in my book.  But just
because you need to become root temporarily to perform some operation is
no excuse for running as root all the time.  It really is not hard to
su, perform the operation, then exit.
