In Windows OS, we can give the privilege to a standard user for making TCP/IP configuration changes, such as, changing IP configuration from DHCP to Manual, also changing IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS severs, etc. The user has to be added in "Network Configuration Operators" groups.
The user can also disable/enable/repair Network Connections.
- Start>Run>CMD>COMPMGMT.MSC
- System Tools>Local Users and Groups>Groups
- Double click "Network Configuration Operators" and click on "Add".
- Specify the user who needs IP configuration change rights.
