Helm access depends on your kubectl access. Considering that DO currently only permits zero or cluster admin access. If you configure kubectl on your machine to work properly with your DOKS cluster, then installing and using helm from that same machine should have all the permissions it needs.

If you are hitting some sort of permissions error please share and we can continue debugging.
