Chantel,
Have you looked at a remote desktop connection for this? You'd have to make
sure Frame was installed for all users, then you could simply distribute
the .rdp to anyone who might need to view files when you are not around.
You could even set up the .rdp to open Frame or a specific folder.
Cheers!
