To not be able to open up security, you could use WSH to make the file
available locally so the user could access it with the rights they have
right now.

I have a service I offer to customers that sign up for it for a product I
have written. Shipping tables update sometimes weekly. It is a annoying
process to update these manually. I have automated the procedure and allow
people to get it from me in the format they need so they don't have to do it
themselves. I pull data from the vendor's web sites with WSH and update
their config.asp file. This file is scheduled with AT. It works well.

If you are unable to do something similar then, as Aaron said, you're going
to have open up your security so the users have access.
