Elevated Privileges

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me a way of allowing a single application to run with
elevated privileges on workstations- maybe via GPO, although I can't
immediately think of a related policy? Currently, the only way I have of
running this applications for users is by adding them to the local 'Power
Users' group at each workstation. Unfortunately, this has led to some
unwanted user-led software installations.

Thanks for any help.

Some apps run as a service and that service can run in the context of a priv
user.

Alternatively, the app can be executed via runas and therefore run in the
context of a priv user.
