Education lab needs non-admin user

[MWCCMedia]

We have a student lab where dozens of students use these computers. We would like to be able to restrict student access to certain admin privileges. These are non-networked Macs and students will login locally. The problem is I can't run Pro Tools as a standard Mac user nor as an Admin user with parental controls enabled(even if they are given access to everything they still become a "managed" user and PT won't launch.)

Pro Tools 8.0.4 MBox 2 mini
Mac OS X 10.6.3

[MWCCMedia]

Here is the problem report generated by Mac OS and also I am aware that Digidesign says you need to be an Admin user I am looking to see if there is a workaround for these types of environments.

The report is too long I can send to you if you think it would be helpful.

Thanks.

[Craig F]

odd, I've been using restricted users sense PT 6.2.3b
but I have not gone to 10.6 yet

[MWCCMedia]

It worked last year with 10.5 and PT 8.0.1
