Does a user need administrative access for Windows Update to work?

My Windows XP users don't have Administrator access on their PCs and Windows
Update is currently disabled. I want to enable Windows Update. Will it work
without users having Administrator rights? Thanks.

Can we configure Windows Update so patches can get installed automatically
without users needing administrator privileges on the system?
