But with this admin rights restriction, I would have to give users admin rights or an admin user account info JUST to change the time? Sounds like a...

I noticed that if you click on the bottom where it says Protected Mode: On, a window will pop up and you can uncheck the enable protected mode. Once I did that all issues were gone for me.
