Lower permissions required to remotely schedule tasks using schtasks

Is it possible to allow users to schedule tasks WITHOUT being an administrator?

i.e. We'd like to have a group - "Task Schedulers" of which members can remotely schedule tasks using schtasks.exe

Code:
schtasks.exe /create /s comp_name ....

The reason for this is that it is beneficial to have some users to schedule tasks without giving them full administrative rights.

Any ideas?

The GPO:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Task Scheduler
shows how to deny certain Task Scheduler things, but no way to lower the required permissions or the like...

The GPO:
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Domain Controller: Allow server operators to schedule tasks
only controls the AT functionality (which is old anyways). I guess we're looking for something like this, except where you can control the group, (instead of "Server Operators" replace with "Task Schedulers" or something)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time
