Permissions for ASPNET Account

Hi All,

I've recently install the framework on a web server (First 'production' one
I've done)

Should the ASPNET account have read/write access to the web root and beyond?
Or just the areas where I'll use asp.net? Or perhaps just read access? (With
write access to specific areas where maybe txt files are amended?)

Would appreciate a little guideance.

Thanks!
Simon.

It should have whatever permissions it needs to do what it needs to do; no
more, and no less.

If I make ASPNET a member of the admins group it can launch my COM+ object but I do not want to do that. What permissions do I need to set for the lowly ASPNET user so that it can launch a COM+ object. I tried playing with COM+ roles in the MMC but not with any luck. My COM+ object itself does not do any role checking. Thanks, Dave
