tEMPORARY ADMINISTRATION RIGHTS FOR USERS

How do I install software onto Windows NT Workstation without having to log on as the administrator. I have the administrator passwor, but having to log off a user then log back on as administrator is time consuming. Ideally, I would like to give a user effectively temporary administration rights.

If they are logging into the NT server change the users rights there, and get them to log off and back in for it to take affect......be very careful of what rights you allow! And give them a time window, so you don't forget to remove the rights
