Can users log in without being given Admin rights.

Looks like a great application and should meet our needs, but one thing slips by me.

Can users log in without being given high level administrator rights to the Joomla installation?

Forgive me if this has been answered - I could not find it.

Ron - This is a "drawback" of using CiviCRM in Joomla (as opposed to Drupal or Standalone modes). The "staff" / "admin" functions in CiviCRM require login to your Joomla admin site. We hope to be able to improve this as Joomla is adding more granular permissioning in a future release (possibly J 1.5).

If you haven't checked out the new CiviCRM book - it gives background on this and other issues to consider when evaluating / starting to use civicrm:
