I don't think that's wise regardless of whether they use Glom. Surely
the PC should be set up for them properly?

The not-as-admin limit actually comes from PostgreSQL which we use. Even
if we wanted to, I don't think it would be easy to get around that. It
seems sensible anyway to prevent admin use for any networked
application.
