I want to create a web part which will contain a button, on click of that button I want to access the network folder and apply the business logic such as create a file/folder, delete a file/folder e.t.c.
I do have created such kind of web part but it's giving error like "Could not find a part of the path '\comp01\ibc'" while accessing the network folder. I am using a name space System.IO for file related activities. I found a weird behavior like this web part works fine on another wss server.
Is share point requires any kind of privileges to access the network folder?
I am using a windows authentication not forms based authentication.
Please help me in this regard.
Where are you trying to Create the Folder in the SharePoint Server or a Different Server?. Check if you are accessing the path using UNC \ format, make sure that the permission has been configured. Also there is a chance that impersonation is not configured to have rights to create the folder, check the App Pool User account permission. Finally you can try to run the code with elevated permission ( have this as last option)

I created IIS website with following setting (ApplicationPool account is named Fitko)
When I run website and submit form with image, application throw an error
UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path
'C:\IISWorkspace\Fitko\upload\instructors' is denied.
System.IO.FileStream.ValidateFileHandle(SafeFileHandle fileHandle)
I gave full permissions to Fitko folder to these accounts
IUSR
Users
Administrators
network service
IIS AppPool\Fitko
yet still the UnauthorizedAccessException exception still throwing.
How can I give access permissions to IIS to write to the folder ?
I solve the issue by enabling windows authentication (I had Anonymous Authentication before, but probably it can be enabled together)
the setting is in
Web Project > Properties > Debug > Web Server Settings
and the flag seems to takes control even when the publish configuration is set to release.
In my opinion, the issue typically indicates a permission error of the specific folder.
What is your Application pool identity? try to right-click the folder and grant Everyone Account full access to the folder.
Besides, under certain cases, this might relate to our website framework technology.

Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.
In internet service manager right click on the default website, click on edit permission, click on the security tab the click on edit
Add built-in ISUR account to the website and give the appropriate access
and or add built in IIS_IUSERS account and do the same if the above does not work.
I am using Microsoft Power App for the first time. I created a rudimentary app for others to use. However, whenever I try sharing my app with other people, they are unable to open it.
I am using OneDrive. I can see which data connections each user has, and it appears that they all have access to the OneDrive folder.
I have tried sharing the app and changing the users' permissions, but it did no good.
Check out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/share-app
After you build a canvas app that addresses a business need, specify which users in your organization can run the app and which can modify and even reshare it. Specify each user by name, or specify a security group in Azure Active Directory. If everyone would benefit from your app, specify that your entire organization can run it.
You can only share your app in your organization.
In a project we are working on we download a file (daily) from the web, that we then use in our code. The web app runs on an IIS server. Where would be the ideal location to download this file to? For development purposes we used "c:/temp/". Is the App_data folder used for things like this?
There is no ideal location.
The only thing that you have to take into account is that the Application Pool user defined in IIS has the necessary permissions on the chosen folder.
The easiest way to do it is to include it in a folder inside the web site directory. But this has a drawback: if you redeploy the web site code, you must take care not to delete that folder. So I usually prefer a folder outside the web site directory.
If you have an ad-hoc user in the app pool, giving the necessary permissions to that folder is done as usual. If it's the default user, then you have to do it in an special way, please, see this: How to assign permissions to ApplicationPoolIdentity account This link basically shows that you have to give permissions to a user whose name is: IIS APPPOOL\{app pool name}, for example IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool. You must type it, as it doesn't appear in any search or listing of users (because it's an special user which is created dynamically when the application pool starts).
I've just moved away from IIS6 on Win2003 to IIS8 on Win2012 for hosting ASP.NET applications.
Within one particular folder in my application I need to Create & Delete files. After copying the files to the new server, I kept seeing the following errors when I tried to delete files:
Access to the path 'D:\WebSites\myapp.co.uk\companydata\filename.pdf' is denied.
When I check IIS I see that the application is running under the DefaultAppPool account, however, I never set up Windows permissions on this folder to include IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool
Instead, to stop screaming customers I granted the following permissions on the folder:
IUSR
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
IIS_IUSRS
Modify
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
This seems to have worked, but I am concerned that too many privileges have been set. I've read conflicting information online about whether IUSR is actually needed at all here. Can anyone clarify which users/permissions would suffice to Create and Delete documents on this folder please? Also, is IUSR part of the IIS_IUSRS group?
Update & Solution
Please see my answer below. I've had to do this sadly as some recent suggestions were not well thought out, or even safe (IMO).
I hate to post my own answer, but some answers recently have ignored the solution I posted in my own question, suggesting approaches that are nothing short of foolhardy.
In short - you do not need to edit any Windows user account privileges at all. Doing so only introduces risk. The process is entirely managed in IIS using inherited privileges.
Applying Modify/Write Permissions to the Correct User Account
Right-click the domain when it appears under the Sites list, and choose Edit Permissions
Under the Security tab, you will see MACHINE_NAME\IIS_IUSRS is listed. This means that IIS automatically has read-only permission on the directory (e.g. to run ASP.Net in the site). You do not need to edit this entry.
Click the Edit button, then Add...
In the text box, type IIS AppPool\MyApplicationPoolName, substituting MyApplicationPoolName with your domain name or whatever application pool is accessing your site, e.g. IIS AppPool\mydomain.com
Press the Check Names button. The text you typed will transform (notice the underline):
Press OK to add the user
With the new user (your domain) selected, now you can safely provide any Modify or Write permissions
IUSR is part of the IIS_IUSER group, so I guess you can remove the permissions for IUSR without worrying. Further reading
However, a problem arose over time as more and more Windows system services started to run as NETWORKSERVICE. This is because services running as NETWORKSERVICE can tamper with other services that run under the same identity. Because IIS worker processes run third-party code by default (Classic ASP, ASP.NET, PHP code), it was time to isolate IIS worker processes from other Windows system services and run IIS worker processes under unique identities.
The Windows operating system provides a feature called "Virtual Accounts" that allows IIS to create unique identities for each of its Application Pools. DefaultAppPool is the default pool that is assigned to all Application Pools you create.
To make it more secure you can change the IIS DefaultAppPool Identity to ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Regarding permissions, Create and Delete summarize all the rights that can be given. So whatever you have assigned to the IIS_USERS group is all that they will require.
When I added permissions for IIS_IUSRS to the site folder, resources like JavaScript and CSS were still inaccessible (error 401, forbidden). However, when I added IUSR, it started working. So for sure you cannot remove the permissions for IUSR.

You can create an IUSR_[identifier] account within your AD environment and let the particular application pool run under that IUSR_[identifier] account:
"Application pool" > "Advanced Settings" > "Identity" > "Custom account"
Set your website to "Applicaton user (pass-through authentication)" and not "Specific user", in the Advanced Settings.
Now give that IUSR_[identifier] the appropriate NTFS permissions on files and folders, for example: modify on companydata.
IIS_IUSRS group has prominence only if you are using ApplicationPool Identity. Even though you have this group looks empty at run time IIS adds to this group to run a worker process according to microsoft literature.
I would use specific user (and NOT Application user). Then I will enable impersonation in the application. Once you do that whatever account is set as the specific user, those credentials would used to access local resources on that server (Not for external resources).
Specific User setting is specifically meant for accessing local resources.
I am trying to modify an xml file from my aspx code. The file is in another directory from my project like in D:\folder\file.xml When publishing my code and running it I am receiving an error as not to be able to access this directory, access in denied. Which user account shall I add to this folder in security option to be able to modify it. I tried adding IIS user but it does not seem to work. Any other workaround this ?
Check which identity that's associated with the application pool, and grant that user access to the folder.
You didn't specify which version of IIS you're using, but here's a decent article on how application pools work
I solved the issue finally..
In my pc I am using Win Xp and had to grant ASP.NET machine account user appropriate rights on the file while on the server that i am finally publishing the code I am using Windows Web Server 2008 and the matching ASP.NET Machine Account was Network Service i granted the same rights here and now i can modify the file successfully.
I am using IIS 7.5 on this machine.
I think your approach Tchami has the same idea. So I am marking it as the answer :) Thank you
