What permissions are needed for windows service to do C# impersonation when
started under a user account?

I have a windows service that impersonates another account fine when it runs
under system account but fails to impersonate when run under a user account.

What permissions must the windows service user account have inorder to do
impersonation?

the error i get is: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied
   at myService.Service1.impersonatetest(String domain, String login, String
password, String path)
   at myService.Service1.OnStart(String[] args)
