Our Business Manager has an upgraded version of DAC Easy. One change
to the upgrade is the user needs to have administrator access. Her
login to the network is a normal user with limited rights. How can I
change her login settings so that she has enough rights to run this
payroll program?

For now I have her log off as a user and then we log her in as an
administrator while she runs payroll. I am not concerned with this
person having administrator rights since she is already my backup for
checking the server for overnight backups and various logs when I am
out of the office.

Thank you.
 
You can add her domain account to the local admin group on her PC. This way
she is an administrator on her PC and a "user" on the domain.

Of course you should educate this user about the possible problems one can
run into browsing the Internet under an administrator account. You may want
to treat this computer as a possible vector for virus infection on your
domain by making sure it is patched, virus protected and keep the virus
software updated at least weekly.

Download ProcessExplorer from MS (it's a Sysinternals tool) and extract it
to a folder on the workstation's HD
Take away her admin rights.
Log in as her
Use RunAs to launch ProcessExplorer
Try to run the app

See where it fails ....you'll need to play with the filter settings to see
where in the registry/file system it's trying to read/write & failing.
As an administrator, change the registry and file system permissions
appropriately so Users have access

Oh, and complain loudly to the software developers. This is just plain
sloppy code.
