ImpersonateSelf
The ImpersonateSelf function obtains an access token that impersonates the security context of
the calling process. The token is assigned to the calling thread.
BOOL ImpersonateSelf(
SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL ImpersonationLevel
| // impersonation level
| );
|
|
Parameters
ImpersonationLevel
Specifies a SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL enumerated type that supplies the impersonation level of the new 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.
Remarks
The ImpersonateSelf function is used for tasks, such as enabling a privilege for a single thread
rather than for the entire process or for changing the default discretionary
access-control list for a single thread.
The server can call the RevertToSelf function when the impersonation is complete.
