+preview::[]
+
+In certain cases you may want to install {agent} in `unprivileged` mode, with the agent running as a pre-existing user or as part of a pre-existing group.
+For example, on a Windows system you may have a service account in Active Directory and you'd like {agent} to run under that account.
+
+To install {agent} in `unprivileged` mode as a specific user, add the `--user` and `--password` parameters to the install command:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+elastic-agent install --unprivileged  --user="my.path\username" --password="mypassword"
+----
+
+To install {agent} in `unprivileged` mode as part of a specific group, add the `--group` and `--password` parameters to the install command:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+elastic-agent install --unprivileged  --group="my.path\groupname" --password="mypassword"
+----
+
+Alternatively, if you have {agent} already installed with administrative privileges, you can change the agent to use `unprivileged` mode and to run as a specific user or in a specific group.
+For example:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+elastic-agent unprivileged --user="my.path\username" --password="mypassword"
+----
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+elastic-agent unprivileged --group="my.path\groupname" --password="mypassword"
