IIS rights without being local administrator

I am running IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 Server. our web
developers needed to create or edit websites, for security reasons I cannot
simply give them admin rights or the password to the admin account.

I have created an account for them to logon remotely to the webserver,
however, they do not have the proper rights to use the IIS management
console. Is there a way to provide users without admin rights the
ability to use IIS to create, edit and manage websites from a
remote desktop connection ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards

You must be a member of the Local administrators group to administer IIS 6
and below.

IIS 7 (when released) will remove such restrictions.
