IIS7 Permissions Overview – ApplicationPoolIdentity

by

ApplicationPoolIdentity is actually the best practice to use in IIS7+. It is a dynamically created, unprivileged account. To add file system security for a particular application pool see IIS.net’s “Application Pool Identities”. The quick version:

If the application pool is named “DefaultAppPool” (just replace this text below if it is named differently)

  1. Open Windows Explorer
  2. Select a file or directory.
  3. Right click the file and select “Properties”
  4. Select the “Security” tab
  5. Click the “Edit” and then “Add” button
  6. Click the “Locations” button and make sure you select the local machine. (Not the Windows domain if the server belongs to one.)
  7. Enter “IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool” in the “Enter the object names to select:” text box. (Don’t forget to change “DefaultAppPool” here to whatever you named your application pool.)
  8. Click the “Check Names” button and click “OK”.
