Add Administrator to User Profile Server via Powershell

Question

I was recently directed to an article that explains how to add a user to the permissions list for the User Profile Service using Powershell, which worked a treat. [My original question]

I'm now looking for a way to add a user to the Administrators list for the User Profile Service, again using Powershell.

Any ideas?

From Assign administration of a User Profile service application (SharePoint Server 2010):

$serviceapp = Get-SPServiceApplication <guid>
$security = Get-SPServiceApplicationSecurity $serviceapp -Admin
$principalUser1 = New-SPClaimsPrincipal -Identity "<domain\user>" -IdentityType WindowsSamAccountName
Grant-SPObjectSecurity $security -Principal $principalUser1 -Rights "Full Control"
Set-SPServiceApplicationSecurity $serviceapp -ObjectSecurity $security -Admin
