Hi Aaron, Thanks for replying. We have set the startAuthoxy.app to be a login item for each user. The issue seems to be that the startup doesn't complete at login time. When you go into System Preferences and look at the Authoxy settings it completes the startup process and then everything works as expected. I suspect it may be because the users who are not administrators have some managed system preferences we set from the server.
Are your users using managed preferences or do they have full access to the system preferences?
