Bad boy Warrior Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 In our organisation we have a policy where no one is an administrator (except for IT of course) but one annoying thing is some users of laptops have to go out and about and stay in hotels. They then decide to try and configure thier wireless connection i.e. create a new connection but get an error asking them for admin rights - is there a way around this without giving admin rights? Remember this connection can be changed any time as they do travel so i would like them to create and use wireless connections without giving admin rights.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 There actually isn't. Just like adding local printers, the utility checks the ACL of your user account, and if you don't have an Administrator ACL, you can't do it. With printers it's power users, but for network connections I believe it's administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 cluberti is right: the setup process checks for the administrator ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
