I could not get what exactly my question was asking, but I got a workaround. Admin rights are needed only if you are using http bindings with WCF. I switched to netTcpBinding and it worked for me. It's not exactly what I asked, but worked for me. Maybe it will help someone facing similar issues.

Try using a higher port. Low ports may only be opend with administrative rights.

You might also have to use NETSH:

In cmd promt enter:

NETSH

add urlacl url=http://+:8732/ user=DOMAIN\user
