Launching ActiveRoles Console from the command line with other credentials

I tried looking and could not tell if it's possible to launch the ActiveRoles Console from the command line and specify the credentials to be used. It's an .msc and I see that mmc.exe allows for alternate credentials. We're deploying a privileged access solution and want to inject the administrative credentials when ARS is launched. Didn't know if anyone has already worked through this.

    Thanks Terrance and John. The vendor is Thycotic Secret Server and they do have instructions are setting up MMC/Custom Launchers. In the instructions, it basically has launching MMC and provided process arguements. I've done that but when it launches it errors out. There is also a way to run as the credentials of the privileged account, but that doesn't get it to launch either. In the end, I need to figure out how to launch the console with a series of parameters, then I can mimic that launch in the privileged access tool - for example, if the person has never launched the ARS console before, the MSC needs to be launched and specify 4 parameters - the service to connect to, to use Connect As instead of the Current User and then username and password to use for the connection. The tool allows me to specify the parameters when the launch happens, but I'm not seeing that the ARS Console supports that kind of launch.
