If the website’s physical directory is not in C:\inetpub\wwwroot and is instead in C:\MyProjects\Project1 – which account needs what rights to the MyProjects or the Project1 folder?
I get a security error when I browse to the website.
It’s usually the group
YOURMACHINE\IIS_IUSRSwhich contains all the default app pool users. If you’re using a domain user for the app pool then it’ll be that instead.They’ll need at least read and list folder contents – and I expect Read & Execute too although I’m not 100%. I usually leave that on as it’s in the default set of read permissions. If you have a SQL Express database in the tree then presumably they’ll need permission to write to that too, etc.
