  IN HANDLE               ThreadHandle,
  IN ACCESS_MASK          DesiredAccess,
  IN BOOLEAN              OpenAsSelf,
  OUT PHANDLE             TokenHandle );


  • ThreadHandle
    •     HANDLE to thread object.
  • DesiredAccess
    •     Access mask for opened Token Object.
  • OpenAsSelf
    •     - ???
  • TokenHandle
    •     Result of call - HANDLE to Token Object associated with ThreadHandle thread.


    Usually Win32 threads don't have associated Tokens. If you want to associate Token for Thread Object, use NtSetInformationThread with ThreadImpersonationToken information class.
