Since you are requiring Authentication, IIS uses the authenticated identity
to execute requests on the server. You can, of course, configure IIS to use
certain fixed identities to service anonymous and UNC requests, but that's
up to your configuration.

Hi.
I've setup a web publishing folder on a W2K machine with IIS 5. FrontPage
Server
Extensions are enabled on that folder as I must use FrontPage and its
features
when editing pages.
I've also designed an intranet application to work with that publishing
folder
so that authors must authenticate - I've disabled anonymous access and base
authentication. They indirectly create folders when a specific page is
called.
That page must create a directory tree, which depends on the authenticated
user
name, in the web publishing folder, the root folder. All authors belong to a
local security group, say Authors.
How should I setup root folder security such as any author can create
folders.
Author should have r/w access to their own files, folders and subfolders but
only read access anywhere else.
This must be a combination between the Authors group and CREATOR OWNER. But
if
someone could help me a little bit on using the appropriate rights in W2K
(quite
enhanced) security, I would be thankful.
A sub question would be: does IIS use supplied credentials when creating
objects
on a disk or just IUSR_MachineName?
Thanks,
Vince C.
