They don't require administrator privilege per se: just SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, which can be granted to normal user accounts via local security policy. The easiest way to grant SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege is to start gpedit.msc, go down to "Windows Settings"->"Security Settings"->"Local Policies"->"User Rights Assignment", then find "Create symbolic links" and add whatever users and groups you want[1].
editrights -a SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege -a user should work...
