Deploying internal apps on an iPhone

Hi, This is a great posting. However I wonder how you handle updates to a program. If I go through this and install for a paticular user, if there are updates, it will only allow me to enter my password to complete the update. Not pratical. Is there a way to preconfigure the device as above, and then pass control to the new user?

I work at Arkansas Children's Hospital and we have deployed several production apps to our employees. We have apps ranging from our own in house "App Store" (which is the only app that is installed via the web) to an iPad app for our helicopter pilots to track flights and keep the aircraft within weights and CG limits. We have an app for our own internal phonebook (can do in app paging to doctors and staff), an app for our security people to use to check vehicle parking privileges and issue citations and several others. We do our own push notifications for several of these apps and handle app updates through the iACH App Store app.
