Create thread with specific privilege c++

I have multi-thread application that I want to create a thread with different user privilege (for example : multi domain admin privilege).

but I can't find any Win32 API CreateThread to do that.

How to create thread with specific user privileges?

thanks.

Call this from the thread that you want to have the specific user privileges, by logging on the thread as the specified user:

HANDLE hToken;
BOOL bRet = LogonUser("username","domain","password",
    LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE,
    LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT,&hToken);
if(!bRet)
    // Add your own fault handling here
    return MessageBox(NULL,"Could not log on","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
bRet = ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hToken);
if(!bRet)
    // Add your own fault handling here
    return MessageBox(NULL,"Could not impersonate","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);

Call CreateThread() with CREATE_SUSPENDED flag, then call SetThreadToken(), then ResumeThread().
