I keep forgetting this and have to look it up the few times I need it… so I’m going to post it here:

  1. When setting NTFS permissions, select local machine (not the domain or whatever)
  2. Add “IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool”
(Don’t forget to change “DefaultAppPool” here to whatever you named your application pool)

That’s it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
