Access requirements to start/stop IIS application pools remotely

Question

When trying to stop/start IIS application pool on a remote server using

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $HostName -ScriptBlock { 
            param($ServiceName) 
            Start-WebAppPool -Name $ServiceName 
        } -ArgumentList ($ServiceName)

I receive an error

Process should have elevated status to access IIS configuration data.
Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'IIS' does not exist.
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (IIS:String) [Start-WebItem], DriveNotFoundExceptio 
   n
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveNotFound,Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Provider.StartItemCommand
    + PSComputerName        : server123

I've discovered some answers here concerning this error. So, the question - is having admin rights (= including my user into Administrators group) on target machine obligatory to have an ability just to start/stop application pools?
