PowerShell Admin mode - Access Controls and Security approaches

Question

Anyone who has used PowerShell, knows that most operations require it to be run in an Elevated Admin Approved mode, otherwise many functions fail with obscure errors. However giving engineers or other power users full admin privileges akin to local administrator seems excessive. Is there a way to grant access to this functionality and still adhere to least privilege?
I typically create Privileged Engineer/Network/etc. accounts for those who need higher permissions when justified by appropriate paperwork. But as for the actual permissions and granularity in active directory/secpol. How does one split the difference.

It's something simple to be done, follow the steps below:

1) Check the windows 10 version to determine the updates that need to be installed, for that do this action:

Press the windows button on the keyboard + R and type: winver, after that a small box with some information should appear, one of them is the Version or Build.

2) After that, access the link below to download the update according to version and Build:

3) After verifying the update, you must download it from the Microsoft catalog through the link below:
