It's really just a combination of LogonUser and CreateProcess.  It uses
the first four parameters you passed to LogonUser, plus the parameters
you would have passed to CreateProcess.  You can look at the source code
to subprocess to see how they call CreateProcess.  In fact, perhaps you
could use that as a base, passing in your login credentials as an
additional parameter.

Processes created by CreateProcessAsUser don't have access to the
desktop, by default.  Do you need UI?  If so, you'll need to read

Unfortunately, this is a maze of twisty passages, all alike.  It is a
complicated and not well known part of the Windows API, and you will end
up doing a lot of very frustrating experimentation.
