log in to their pc as them. Goto control panel > users. click on advanced tab > advanced button > groups on the left, power users on the right. Click add > type "domain users". That gives them the essential permissions but not full control like an administrator.

yes, you could create a group that has power user permissions, as in "member of" power users with each user a member of that group

Users must have administrator permissions to install local software. Unfortunately this also gives them the ability to uninstall it as well. You might consider rolling-out software through Active Directory or a system like SMS. However, if your environment is too volatile and users are making frequent changes, you may need to govern this by policy and give them local administrator access.

how can we give them local admin rights from Group policy or from Active directory then.
