Permission for IIS Server for non admin user

All IIS operations require administration permissions, and the only supported exception is that you follow this article to configure remote management and feature delegation.

If you, however, use any other steps, then you have to stop and revert, as that's not supported by Microsoft.

Hi Ahmed Rizwan Khan,

By default, IIS requires administrative rights to manage server-wide settings and existing sites because these operations modify protected configuration files like applicationHost.config. While you've successfully allowed the user to create new sites, managing existing ones typically requires elevated access.

IIS provides a built-in way to delegate site-level management using IIS Manager Users and Feature Delegation. This allows non-admin users to manage specific sites and features without full admin rights.

1.Enable IIS Manager Users:

• In IIS Manager, go to Management > IIS Manager Permissions.
• Add a new IIS Manager User (these are IIS-specific, not Windows accounts).

2.Delegate Features:

• Go to Feature Delegation at the server level.
• Set desired features (e.g., Authentication, Default Document) to Read/Write.

3.Assign Site Permissions:

• Select the site you want the user to manage.
• Open IIS Manager Permissions and add the user.
