Try to use the --user switch. From systemctl(1)

--user

Talk to the service manager of the calling user, rather than the

service manager of the system.
You may follow the instruction of this post.

Create a Cmnd_Alias in /etc/sudoers like:
Cmnd_Alias APACHEADMIN = /usr/bin/systemctl start apache2, /usr/bin/systemctl restart apache2, /usr/bin/systemctl stop apache2

Then add a line for the user privilege:
jsmith  ALL = NOPASSWD: APACHEADMIN
