I tend to use the “start slave as service” option under windows, and just gave it the credentials to use on the slave nodes in the slave configuration. Running the jnlp start as specific users worked well for us for a while, but the jnlp startup mode didn’t always reconnect as well as the service start.

Our solution was to run slaves that were logged in as the user to be tested. We had to use the JNLP slave starting method for this work properly; the SSH and Windows Services methods always logged in as an admin. Then we targeted the job at the particular slave that was running as a particular user. I don't know of any way to run as multiple users on the Jenkins master itself - but that was fine for us.
