[systemd-devel] Best way to limit per-user system-wide units

I'd like my http user to be able to install unit files and start/stop them.

Starting and stopping them is fairly easy with a sudo rule..

But adding them is a bit trickier. I could also use sudo but it seems
fairly specific.

Is there some way to add a new directory, e.g.
/etc/systemd/system/http which has permissions specific for http user?

I can install targets/services/etc into that directory and then use
sudo systemctl start/stop

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions. Alternative ways to achieve the
same thing also welcome.

Kind regards,
Samuel
