Run application via delphi service with admin rights

I need to run an application through service with delphi with elevated administrator rights.

I have tried several solutions found here, such as

RunAsAdminAndWaitForCompletion(filename,
  Parameters: string; wait: boolean): Boolean;

However the application when run by the service, does not have administrator rights.

A simple impression by the application that was called is not executed because the calling application has no access to the peripherals. How can I make the application running through the service run with admin privileges on the machine.

The user who is logged in to the machine is already an administrator.

Man, I was giving a quick search and found it here:

uses ShellApi;

ShellExecute(Handle, 'runas', 'regedit', nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I tested here in Delphi XE5 with a common application and it worked fine (I put a button on the form and click it I put this command), you can see that the command I'm calling is Regedit and this face is only opened with admin permission.
