TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS enumeration (winnt.h)

  • Article

The TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS enumeration contains values that specify the type of information being assigned to or retrieved from an access token.

The GetTokenInformation function uses these values to indicate the type of token information to retrieve.

The SetTokenInformation function uses these values to set the token information.

Constants

 
TokenUser
Value: 1
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_USER structure that contains the user account of the token.
TokenGroups
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_GROUPS structure that contains the group accounts associated with the token.
TokenPrivileges
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_PRIVILEGES structure that contains the privileges of the token.
TokenOwner
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_OWNER structure that contains the default owner security identifier (SID) for newly created objects.
TokenPrimaryGroup
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_PRIMARY_GROUP structure that contains the default primary group SID for newly created objects.
TokenDefaultDacl
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_DEFAULT_DACL structure that contains the default DACL for newly created objects.
TokenSource
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_SOURCE structure that contains the source of the token. TOKEN_QUERY_SOURCE access is needed to retrieve this information.
TokenType
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_TYPE value that indicates whether the token is a primary or impersonation token.
TokenImpersonationLevel
The buffer receives a
SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL value that indicates the impersonation level of the token. If the access token is not an impersonation token, the function fails.
TokenStatistics
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_STATISTICS structure that contains various token statistics.
TokenRestrictedSids
The buffer receives a
TOKEN_GROUPS structure that contains the list of restricting SIDs in a
restricted token.
TokenSessionId
The buffer receives a DWORD value that indicates the Terminal Services session identifier that is associated with the token.

If the token is associated with the terminal server client session, the session identifier is nonzero.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:  If the token is associated with the terminal server console session, the session identifier is zero.

In a non-Terminal Services environment, the session identifier is zero.

If TokenSessionId is set with SetTokenInformation, the application must have the Act As Part Of the Operating System privilege, and the application must be enabled to set the session ID in a token.
TokenGroupsAndPrivileges
The buffer receives a TOKEN_GROUPS_AND_PRIVILEGES structure that contains the user SID, the group accounts, the restricted SIDs, and the authentication ID associated with the token.
TokenSessionReference
Reserved.
TokenSandBoxInert
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if the token includes the SANDBOX_INERT flag.
TokenAuditPolicy
Reserved.
TokenOrigin
The buffer receives a TOKEN_ORIGIN value.

If the token resulted from a logon that used explicit credentials, such as passing a name, domain, and password to the LogonUser function, then the TOKEN_ORIGIN structure will contain the ID of the logon session that created it.

If the token resulted from network authentication, such as a call to AcceptSecurityContext or a call to LogonUser with dwLogonType set to LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK or LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK_CLEARTEXT, then this value will be zero.
TokenElevationType
The buffer receives a TOKEN_ELEVATION_TYPE value that specifies the elevation level of the token.
TokenLinkedToken
The buffer receives a TOKEN_LINKED_TOKEN structure that contains a handle to another token that is linked to this token.
TokenElevation
The buffer receives a TOKEN_ELEVATION structure that specifies whether the token is elevated.
TokenHasRestrictions
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if the token has ever been filtered.
TokenAccessInformation
The buffer receives a TOKEN_ACCESS_INFORMATION structure that specifies security information contained in the token.
TokenVirtualizationAllowed
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if virtualization is allowed for the token.
TokenVirtualizationEnabled
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if virtualization is enabled for the token.
TokenIntegrityLevel
The buffer receives a TOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL structure that specifies the token's integrity level.
TokenUIAccess
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if the token has the UIAccess flag set.
TokenMandatoryPolicy
The buffer receives a TOKEN_MANDATORY_POLICY structure that specifies the token's mandatory integrity policy.
TokenLogonSid
The buffer receives a TOKEN_GROUPS structure that specifies the token's logon SID.
TokenIsAppContainer
The buffer receives a DWORD value that is nonzero if the token is an app container token. Any callers who check the TokenIsAppContainer and have it return 0 should also verify that the caller token is not an identify level impersonation token. If the current token is not an app container but is an identity level token, you should return AccessDenied.
TokenCapabilities
The buffer receives a TOKEN_GROUPS structure that contains the capabilities associated with the token.
TokenAppContainerSid
The buffer receives a TOKEN_APPCONTAINER_INFORMATION structure that contains the AppContainerSid associated with the token. If the token is not associated with an app container, the TokenAppContainer member of the TOKEN_APPCONTAINER_INFORMATION structure points to NULL.
TokenAppContainerNumber
The buffer receives a DWORD value that includes the app container number for the token. For tokens that are not app container tokens, this value is zero.
TokenUserClaimAttributes
The buffer receives a CLAIM_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES_INFORMATION structure that contains the user claims associated with the token.
TokenDeviceClaimAttributes
The buffer receives a CLAIM_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES_INFORMATION structure that contains the device claims associated with the token.
TokenRestrictedUserClaimAttributes
This value is reserved.
TokenRestrictedDeviceClaimAttributes
This value is reserved.
TokenDeviceGroups
The buffer receives a TOKEN_GROUPS structure that contains the device groups that are associated with the token.
TokenRestrictedDeviceGroups
The buffer receives a TOKEN_GROUPS structure that contains the restricted device groups that are associated with the token.
TokenSecurityAttributes
This value is reserved.
TokenIsRestricted
This value is reserved.
TokenProcessTrustLevel
TokenPrivateNameSpace
TokenSingletonAttributes
TokenBnoIsolation
TokenChildProcessFlags
TokenIsLessPrivilegedAppContainer
Refers to a Least Privileged AppContainer (LPAC). An LPAC is effectively an AppContainer that's disregarded by the ALL_APPLICATION_PACKAGES SID. For info about what an AppContainer is, see AppContainer for legacy apps.

Many resources across Windows are ACL'd with ALL_APPLICATION_PACKAGES, as described in DoNotAddAllApplicationPackagesToRestrictions. In scenarios where you want a process running with no rights to any resources except what you explicitly grant (for example, a web browser sandboxing a child worker process), an AppContaoiner has too much access to the system because of ALL_APPLICATION_PACKAGES. That's where an LPAC comes in. You can create an LPAC only imperatively via APIs; not declaratively via appxmanifest.xml.
MaxTokenInfoClass
The maximum value for this enumeration.
