Why does SolidWorks Electrical require all users to have full folder permissions in PDM?

It appears that, unless you give all users the ability to create folders and delete files (something that has historically created huge messes for us) SolidWorks Electrical cannot be linked to PDM at all.  Check-in failure after failure after failure, each time demanding more and more permissions for the user.

IT tells me that giving our users these permissions is "absolutely out of the question" - so does this mean we cannot link SWE to PDM at all, and that all files must be manually created and added to the vault?
