Importing prevented by security

How do I change permissions so a non-admin user can import
tables, queries, forms, reports and modules? This all
needs to be done in code with no interaction from the user.

I have a front-end db that is subject to ongoing
development and upgrade whilst live. Each client front-end
has a Version number. When the user logs in, the database
compares the version number to a table on the backend
which lists all the available objects and their individual
version numbers. Any back-end objects with higher version
numbers are selected, the existing object in the front-end
is deleted and the object from the backend is imported.
This all happens invisibly whilst a splash screen is
displayed.

This works fine for Admin users, but regular users do not
have permission to import the objects (or read the custom
datavbase property "Version" that I created). How do I
give them this permission and then remove it once the
update routine is complete?
