yes, it is possible but not recommended unless your server is internal. In other words, if noone will have access to your server, you can do that, such as an internal application. exposing this to the world is highly discouraged.
How you can do this is to set your process to sudoers. if you are using this via httpd you can set the httpd process to sudoers.
