I appreciate the help but neither of those links show how to do what I 
asked.
Create a user and assign to a group without being an administrator.
I can do it on a remote machine by using credentials in the connect method 
but these aren't allowed for a local connection.
I can't find any examples of impersonate that show how to run as admin 
temporarily without the user inputting the password.
