Re: Delegating Admin Rights in Windows 2003

The following allows non-admins to manage shared folders. Create a
local group, such as "Share Operators". Download and install TweakUI.
Open TweakUI and click Access Control. Grant "Share Operators" full
control over the following items:

Manage file and print sharing
Manage file/print server connections
Enumerate file server disks
Manage file server open files
Manage file/print server sessions
Manage administrative shares
Manage file shares
Manage printer shares
Read file/print server statistics

Reboot the computer. To delegate access to manage shared folders, make
the person a member of this "Share Operators" group. Note that all of
the above permissions may grant more than the person actually needs.
This is simply the list I use. Feel free to experiment by removing the
group from one permission at a time, rebooting, and seeing how
person's access changes.

Regards,

J Wolfgang Goerlich
