Enable download button in a Sitecore media field to Sitecore non admin users

I have a template called Classified Image which inherited from /sitecore/templates/System/Media/Versioned/File template. There are some items created from Classified Image template and each item contains an image in the Media field which is coming from /sitecore/templates/System/Media/Versioned/File template.

There are some Sitecore users without adminstrator privileges(admin testers) who simply wants to download that saved image in the classified image item. But I couldn't find a way to enable only this download option for admin tester users so I had to give access to whole item by setting template standard values security. But the problem is even for downloading they have to acquire a lock by selecting "Lock and Edit" and later release that lock so other admin tester users won't be denied the acccess for that item.

Is there a simpler way I can configure this so this admin tester users will be able to download the image without acquiring any locks.

After navigating to the media item, have the user navigate to the Media tab and try the Download button there - this is illustrated by the screenshot below. If that doesn't work out you could implement a custom toolbar button that uses the Sitecore.SecurityModel.SecurityDisabler to allow downloads for otherwise unprivileged users
