1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Admin rights (Message 1686) Posted 8 Dec 2005 by swami Post: This is a non-answer. Just unacceptable. There doesn't seem to be a reason to need admin access to install this application. If so, why? If not, take it out. Permission is a two-way street. We were able to run the clasic SETI app. but that didn't need ADMIN access. Again, my question to the BOINC developers and community: Can you create a client for those of us that don't have admin rights, or give us a clue as to how to "turn off" the need for them? Thanks.

2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Admin rights (Message 1465) Posted 2 Dec 2005 by swami Post: why is it that admin rights are needed to install BOINC? I'm running the old client, which ends soon and I need to install BOINC on my computer. But we have the mainframe mentality here and I can't install it unless I get an admin to do it (I've been running the "legacy" client for about 5 years). Can you create a client for those of us that don't have admin rights, or give us a clue as to how to "turn off" the need for them? Thanks.
