Why is domain admin service account required for ServiceNow MID server?

Is there a possibility to limit the use of domain admin account to minimize risk?

Use of accounts like user account or local admin account?

This is because MID servers need sufficient privileges to perform tasks like remote WMI queries and PowerShell execution on Windows-based systems, including domain controllers.
