Proxy settings by user dont work, why?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

I have since determined (usually happens as soon as I post it) that a
permissions issue is preventing the users from changing the proxy settings
even though they would appear changed in IE. If I add the users to local
admins then all works OK

Any idea what permissions I would have to change to get it to work within a
standard user account?
