There is a application that only works when user is given admin rights or power user. I don't know why, it doesn't touch the registry and from the looks of it, it's web based. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks
 
nugihouser,

What is the application?

Is it installed locally?

Was It installed by a user loggrd on with admin rights?

Try uninstalling. Reinstall logged as user who needs access.

Check to see what files/directories it is accessing and then check the permissions on those.
 
Checking out the log file, it looked like it was trying to write to the c:\programs folder of the application. Granted read/write and it seemed to work. Thanks for the tip.
