A:
The IIS_WPG user is a the IIS Worker Process Group, and is needed in order for IIS to run / access applciations within a folder
The IIS_IUSRS is a the Internet Guest Account, this is used to allow anonynous access to the folder / files. This is needed if you want the general public to be able to view anything in the folders e.g. a website.
They are not norally part of the "Authenticated Users" group and normally require you to grant access seperatly.

I think so maybe of IIS_IUSRS,but not of IIS_WPG.Try a research with a client certificate for which your IIS_WPG have to access its private key and you'll see! It is ok if you give +r to AUTHENTICATED_USERS and you don't have to give that right for IIS_WPG!
