SetThreadToken

The SetThreadToken function assigns an impersonation token to a thread. The function can also cause a thread to stop using an impersonation token.

BOOL SetThreadToken(
  PHANDLE Thread,  // points to a handle to the thread
  HANDLE Token     // handle to the impersonation token
);
 

Parameters

Thread

Pointer to a handle to the thread to which the function assigns the impersonation token.

If Thread is NULL, the function assigns the impersonation token to the calling thread.

Token

An open handle to the impersonation token to assign to the thread. This handle must have been opened with TOKEN_IMPERSONATE access rights. For more information, see Access Rights for Access-Token Objects.

If Token is NULL, the function causes the thread to stop using an impersonation token.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
