You may experience a few problems if you don't have administrative privileges. Some tasks require admin privileges in order to work, such as:
Connecting to networks or wireless networks
Viewing the contents of a removable disk connected to the computer, or the contents of a different disk partition (e.g. a Windows partition)
Installing new applications
You can change who has admin privileges.
