SQL 2005 permissions to setup and run replication

I need to allow users to setup and run replication in SQL 2005 without giving them SA rights. I've set up a proxy account and assigned the group to the proxy, but the user is receiving a message that "You must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role to complete this transaction."

How do I allow users to run replication without assigning SA rights? Thanks.

If you get the error "You must be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role to complete this transaction.", then there isn't much you can do to get around not giving them that permission.

But what about all those proxies that allow replication in 2005? What are those about then? I had thought that was the whole reason for having them.
