You have to be a machine admin in order to fully administer IIS (locally or remotely) using the IIS Manager GUI. I think you can do some basic tasks as an operator but they are severely limited.
Alternatively you can use the Metabase Explorer and give permissions through that (it works just like the registy editor). Admin access is not needed but it is a huge pain to perform admin tasks that way, is not supported by MS, and you can completely destroy your installation if you aren’t extremely careful.
