Re: Launch Application as Different User in C# Windows Applicatoin

Sorry for confusion, I might not be clear about my question.

Yes, I know how to impersonate when I create NEW process using
ProcessStartInfo class. There are many examples over the Internet.

However, I was wondering what if I impersonate a code block using
WindowsIdentity.Impersonate() and the code block contains creating new
process, does new process inherit security context from the
impersonated security context or parents security context?

Per Willy's reply, it seems that new process will still inherit it from
parents security context even though impersonation occured before the
code block.

I hope that this clears my question.

Thank you,

to do impersonation for a process but wanted to know how to do
impersonation for a thread. Was that not your question?
