How to grant NETWORK SERVICE read/write permission to App_Data folder?

Discussion in 'Windows / IIS' started by jholliday, Jan 18, 2013.

  1. I need to deploy a licensing service that writes data to a file in the App_Data folder. Their instructions are to grant read/write permissions to the ASPNET User (NETWORK SERVICE) for the App_Data folder. However, I don't see a way to grant such permissions via the Discount ASP.NET control panel.

    How is this accomplished?

    By default the anonymous user (a web site visitor) has read and write access to all files and directories on the hosting account. You don't need to grant the permissions because its already set up as read and write.

    Are you getting any error messages?
