[out] DWORD *pFlags

Parameters
[out] pFlags
Specifies the usage flag to return. This parameter must be set to one of the following values:

Return value
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Remarks
Older implementations effectively required that BITS users have administrator privileges in order to get helper token flags with this method. Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, non-administrator BITS users can use this method to get helper token usage flags on BITS jobs they own. This change enables non-administrator BITS users (such as background downloader services running under the NetworkService account) to use helper tokens effectively.
Specifically, the implementation has been changed to allow users without administrator privileges to get helper token flags, as long as the SID of the caller's thread's token is the same as the SID of the job owner's user account during the IBackgroundCopyJob::QueryInterface call.
