Enable a non Admin to run a Scheduled Task without giving them admin rights.

Need to enable a non administrative group to run a current scheduled task without giving them admin rights - The task is already set up to run as a service account that has admin rights just need to give them rights to run the service only. I added the group to the permissions of the task but they do not have rights to see the scheduled tasks of that server to run it.

Thanks for your input. We didn't want to have to set it up to use Runas. I found a work around today which seems to give us what we wanted.
The scheduled task runs on it's own but at times we wanted to give a non admin rights to run if needed on off hours.
I added the group to the Task permissions RWX only
I then added this group to the task folder using CACLS C:\WINDOWS\TASKS /E /G GROUP:R
This gives the group rights to only view the one task as well as execute and run if needed.

No you can keep the points since your solution also would work. I don't track or follow the points anyway. Thanks again for your support.
