Yes, I have a separate admin account and set "Ask me" in the *user*
preferences on that account. Then, I always use an account (different from
the previous one) with no admin privileges and set it to "Never install
missing packages on-the-fly".

When a package is required by a document (and I am willing to install it),
I simply run lyx as administrator and answer yes when I am asked to install
the missing package.
