How do I allow access to IIS Manager for web developer?

Hello,
Sometimes we need to restart the IIS services on our intranet server due to
the intranet hanging. I am trying to figure out how I can grant my web
developer access to the IIS Manager remotely so that he can restart IIS when
needed. This is the quick fix to the hanging problems. The intranet will be
recoded in the near future.

I'd like to do this without assigning him Administrator permissions to the
entire box. All he needs to do is start and stop IIS.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike H.

Assigning the user administrator rights is the only way in the current
versions of IIS to allow this.
