Change power scheme under a limited user account

's Computer Specifications

I am trying to find a way to adjust my power scheme while under a
limited user account.

I want to set it to the same settings that I use on my Admin account.

Is there a way to accomplish it?

Thanks.

Temporarily promote the user to Administrator, make the changes then
demote the user back to Limited account.

How do you temporarily promote the user to an Admin?
