Been a while since I used that software but I don't think that can be changed. If so not easily. Without the software asking for an administrator password it would be very easy for someone to really bork up your drive.

If you are running DiskWarrior so often that this is an issue, you are running DW waaaaaaaaaaay too often. Once a year is probably more than is needed in typical use.

Disk Warrior is best run from a bootable disk (DVD), not your boot drive. Some of the things it needs to do cant be done on the current drive being used.
And I agree with chas_m, if you're running it that much you have other, serious problems.
I haven't run it in 3 years.Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
