Creating new Thread as another user?

[Lars Netzel]

Can one create a new thread as another user and then preform commands with
other permissionas or am I stuck with the ASPNET user in the code behind?

There are a handful of ways to run a thread with a different
principal. The second half of the following article demonstrates a few
of the techniques:

That works for basic things but the Export of Crystal Report files doesn't
seem to be affected by the impersionation. Any ideas why?

I'm not intimately familiar with Crystal, but, I know COM can throw
some kinks into the work. Have you tried the aspcompat directive? If
Crystal is using an STA COM object underneath the covers then the
calls will jump to a different thread that is not impersonating.
