Hi, if you use a NTconfig.POL  and set your internal susserver ip and 
updatetime etc. with adm to the default computers  you will not
have any problem with user permission, cause the update service ist 
started by a privileged
system service on the win client machine which will do the update anyway.
There should no manual update needed by Domain Users Group in this case 
or giving privileg to do so.

If you want to force a susupdate you have to use tools like forcesus.exe 
and start them at logon
of the user with a runas command ( cpau is a good choice ) as a member 
of Adminstrator Group ( Domain Admins etc...)
 you can also start  forcesus.exe with psexec.
