CreateProcess with as a "Limited User"

This is a strange one...
I have a service application that runs an Agent application (i.e.
watchdog). The Agent app will run a client application if it notices
that the client application is not running....
Here's where it gets more confusing....
All of this is going on while the user is a limited account (i.e. not
administrator). When my Agent application calls CreateProcess(...) the
client application inherits the elevated administrators security.
I don't understand from reading about SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES what the
value of lpSecurityDescriptor should be set to.
How can an application that's ran with administrator rights spawn
another application that has lower/limited rights?
It's 3am, sorry if this is all a bit strange.
