    so as long as the assembly to be deployed is already part of the trusted assemblies or the administrator has already set the machine trust levels to whatever is needed by the assembly the assembly will work ok  regardless of all this even if the logged in user does not have administrator rights on the machine he/she will still be able to click on a URL or self-deploy the assembly in some other manner

    You can test an application yourself to find out.

    It is a matter of changing the trust settings for the URL. I will be up to the Domain or System Administrator as to whether this is allowed by a non-admin.

    no the application is running in a partly trusted enviroment 
    the application needs to have enough trust to be able to do what its trying to achive
    an administrator can change the trust level a user cannot  but the administrator can
    change the Machine or Enterprise trust levels or add your Assembly to the trusted assemblies
    all of which will allow your application to run 

    if you need more infor then just ask
