Switch process to run under different credentials

[jamsek19]

Hello.
Does anybody know how to programme in C++ a part of code to run under different credentials (ie. Administrator rights).
For example: an .exe is running under momentary account credentials. In some part of code program needs Administrative rights to finished its job. So I have Admin password and a program with that password can switch to Admin credentials and finished its job.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

Andreo

It's not a complete answer: try LogonUser to obtain a token handle then pass it to ImpersonateLoggedOnUser then call RevertToSelf to stop impersonation.
May be it helps...

ArkM, thanks. I found these functions in MSDN yesterday and I thought they're used for other purposes.
Now I tried and works just as I wish.
Thanks.
Best regards
