We have recently upgraded to IIS7 as a core web server and I need an overview in terms of the permissions. Previously, when needing to write to the file system I would have give the AppPool user (Network Service) access to the directory or file.
In IIS7 I see, as default, the AppPool user is set to ApplicationPoolIdentity. So when I check the task-manager, I see that a user account called ‘WebSite.com’ is running the IIS Process (‘Website.com’ being the name of the website in IIS)
However this user account doesn’t exist if I try to use that to give permissions. So, how do I determine which user to give the permissions too?
Edit ==============================================================================
See below for the problem in screen shot. Our website (www.silverchip.co.uk) runs on the username SilverChip.co.uk. However when I add pemissions, this user doenst exist!
