In short, this depends on the permissions needed / how the installer determines if the user has them. The easiest thing to do is to give local administrator access (I'm assuming Windows platform because it sounds like it), if this is not permissible to you (as local admin access can easily be leveraged into obtaining domain admin) then creating a user account with the required permissions may be your best bet, but again, any extra permissions the installer may need can probably be used to get local administrator access, then domain administrator access. As you probably don't care, go ahead and look at Microsoft KB and search around for custom user permissions (Which range from Files, to Registry RW, to System ability to install drivers, services, impersonate users, create users...) Of course if your installer just looks to see if the person installing is an Administrator instead of looking for the access, then all this trouble is for naught.
I'd be interested to know if there was something I was missing, hence the RTA.
