Group permissions - make the dd and cp commands only accessible to a new group, make jen a mamber of that group, and leave john out of it.

I can't completely understand what you said, but here's an example.

Code:
# /etc/sudoers

# Give jen root access to dd and cp
jen  ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/dd, /bin/cp
