    IIS itself runs as LocalSystem

    Accessing normal pages as a user should be fine. So, if you create a HTML
    page and put it inside your website, you should be able to access it fine as
    a normal user. Only if the webpage needs to perform a privileged action
    (e.g. it starts/stops services, adds user etc) does the person accessing the
    page need elevated privileges.

    Cheers
    Ken
