The *can_set_permissions* permission determines whether the user can do this or not. The description on the admin/permissions page is slightly misleading - it does not give the user general admin privs, although I imagine it gives more powers than you want.

One approach is to edit the addnewcat template. Look for lines that contain

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions']">

There are four in total in this template. The second encloses a sequence starting

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions']">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1">
	<strong>$vbphrase[ll_forumparent]</strong>
	<br /><span class="smallfont">
	$curforumtitle<br />
	$vbphrase[ll_forumparent_text]
	</span>
	</td>

You could change this conditional test, e.g.

<if condition="$links_permissions['can_set_permissions'] or $links_permissions['can_moderate_links']">
