Hi,

I want to start some asynchronous operations in a thread and I want the new thread to run under a specific user account. Is it possible to achieve this in threading and how?

Thanks,
Prakash

Hello Prakash,

The type of functionality I believe you are looking for is called 'impersonation'. Effectively, you want your code to impersonate another identity or role during some portion of execution. Impersonation happens at the thread level.

You can find more API documentation and descriptions regarding impersonation and the .NET Framework at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconImpersonatingReverting.asp

 

Hope that helps,
