Name of user running thread

Hi,
I want to get the name of the owner of a thread. I have a component that can
be called from many different components so I want to trace which user that
owns the thread. Is this possible in c#?

Thanks,
Mats-Lennart

Hi Mats:

You can inspect the static CurrentPrincipa l property of the Thread
class.

Yous hould be careful with this approach, because it is very possible to
change the principal for the thread, to something completely different from
a windows user.

Try this:
WindowsPrincipa l threadPrincipal = Thread.CurrentP rincipal as
WindowsPrincipa l;
if (threadPrincipa l != null)
// Valid Windows principal
Console.WriteLi ne(threadPrinci pal.Identity.Na me);
else
// Current principal is not a Windows principal

It's also possible to think you've changed the principal for a thread
without having done so (this doesn't do impersonation). The property
is for server applications to check, not really to modify.

Apologies, I thought I was in the asp.net group.

If this is a component used outside of ASP.NET use
WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent() from the System.Security .Principal
namespace.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
