How can i give access to IIS_WPG user role in IIS.

I am trying to run .net 2.0 application on windows xp laptop

A: 

Open the microsoft management console and add the local users and groups snapin. There you can find the user group and add your service accounts.

It's a group on your machine, edit it like this:

  • Right click My Computer
  • Manage
  • Local Users and Groups
  • Users
  • Double click IUSR_**
  • Add whatever user needs it, probably the same account as your Application Pool

I don't have IIS_WPG under groups

@WingMan20-10 - Sorry, forgot it was differnt in IIs 5.1/XP, use IUSR_ under Users

ok thanks that helps.....but i dont understand what you mean by this"Add whatever user needs it, probably the same account as your Application Pool"

@WingMan20-10 - Can you clarify a bit what you're trying to do? XP has IIS 5.1, You're describing a group that was added in IIS6, so what are you trying to assign permissions to do? There may be a completely different route you need to take for whatever you're trying to do. For example, if it's file/folder permissions, then you need to go to the file/folder, and assign that IUSER_** to have permissions.

Well i am getting this error in the event viewer when i try to run my application."failed to execute request because the app-domain could not be created"

@WingMan20-10 - In that case, go to the folder the web app's in, properties, security, and give the IUSR_** read/write access.

A: 

I believe you are trying to set permissions on a folder?

Right click the folder and hit the security tab and give permissions to one of a few variations of a user (depends on several factors): \IUSR_ \ASPNET

Then the user will have access to that folder.
