On Linux/Unix , tacmd is a shell command.  You could change user/group so 
that only a limited number of people can execute it and only one [root?] 
could alter it. You add some exit facility that screens usage and exits if 
not allowed for a particular user. Or you can create a tacmd invoker that 
does the screening and then invokes the real tacmd in a different 
directory. The tacmd login function can accept all parameters from 
standard input. That way you could hide the userid/password from general 
knowledge.

Set up the SOAP access control configuration so only a limited number of 
users can use.... but SOAP is really an open access port. You cannot 
really make any distinction in usage. The only protection is 
userid/password that is not widely known.

Probably the best path is just to limit the number of users and audit the 
usage.

No, HUB TEMS SOAP interface does not offer such access granularity. I 
would
recommend you to create a wrapper for the commands you need.
