I've also been thinking about this possibility. Create a Linux (S.O.) user account that has the ability to run pg_dump and pg_restore and enable this user account to be able to connect to a database - I believe this is possible through PG_HBA.CONF
But I don't know how to implement this on Linux, nor how to write this entry in the pg_hba.conf file.

Yes, but I think here we have to solve it with external tools, e.g.,
sudo. I see, however, an hard time configuring an account to execute
only pg_dump without being able to "escape" into the database itself.
