authorization - Granting access to IIS 7.5 ApplicationPoolIdentity

Question

(This question already has answers here): question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13461186/granting-access-to-iis-7-5-applicationpoolidentity

Answer 1

Ok I have the solution:

When using "ApplicationPoolIdentity" with IIS 7.5 the corresponding user is (a virtual system user):

"IIS AppPool<AppPoolName>"

You can grant this user permissions and check security setting by searching for this user. See the full explanation here:
