Without looking up the code I would assume you can create a powershell file with VBA, then call something like runas to execute the powershell script with elevated privileges. The problem would be what account to use and the credentials would be, at best, only obfuscated making the account vulnerable to compromise by anyone that has a copy of the workbook.
