another option is using ldap, so you can specify who can do what in the 
ldap tree.

The IPA project (included in centos as ipa-server and ipa-client) fixes 
all this for you:

Having said this, the question to manage an environment without 
management tools is peculiar. You need to have a way to introduce 
changes in a safe, tested, repetitive way. Denying you the possibility 
of doing this is not best practices and you should point this a a risk 
in your project.
