With sudo you can allow group-members to execute commands with super-user rights. But you can also allow group-members or users to execute certain commands with or without a defined list of arguments as super-user or as any other user. So with a bit of magic it is really easy to allow certain users to execute "sudo drbdadm cstate dhcp" (and no other drbdadm-variant) with or without password.
