  • For php scripts add MODIFY to your IUSR account
  • For asp: add MODIFY to your IWPD account
  • For asp.net: It will run under your IWPD account by default unless you have impersonation enabled in your web.config (which you should use if using asp.net), in which case it will impersonate the IUSR account - add MODIFY to the appropriate account.
