Re: IIS 5.0 Manage for non-admin rights

for non-admin and give full control in the registry keys to IIS and works
just fine. When we want that some "software" installed in that machine
(non-admin profile) works like admin profile, we give full access in the
registry ketys!! This approach works just fine... but now did not work for IIS...

Your approach to simply change Registry ACLs does not work all the
time.

IIS website/administration configuration is stored outside the
Registry, so changing Registry Key ACLs has no effect on a non-admin's
ability to administer IIS.

Now, IIS7 on Vista Client will support the exact scenario that you
describe, by design and by default.

So, unfortunately, what you want will not be possible with any existing
version of IIS prior to IIS7. These versions simply do not support
administration by non-local-administrators, by-design.

Hi friends,

"IIS5 on Win 2000 Pro and IIS 5.1 on Win XP are designed for Personal use in
developing and testing purpose."

But this is the case! The machines are for Personal use in developing and
testing purpose! The problem here is that each "developers" machine, for
security reasons, are created with non-admin profile.
But with non-admin profile they cant use the IIS 5 for creating virtual
directories, etc. This is only for testing purpose in his personal developer
machine.
Today, they don't see in the IIS the folders "FTP, Website...".

We can give permissions in the registry ... but where?
We have given full control in some registry keys but with no success.

I don't know if any new Windows 2000 Microsoft fix have chance anything
because we have already created developers machines (IIS5 on Win 2000 Pro)
for non-admin and give full control in the registry keys to IIS and works
just fine. When we want that some "software" installed in that machine
(non-admin profile) works like admin profile, we give full access in the
registry ketys!! This approach works just fine... but now did not work for IIS...

Why don't work today?!!??

Best regards,

Hi,

If you are using Windows 2000 Server, you can add the regular user into
Operators to allow non-admin users manage web site configurations.

- Open IIS manager
- Highligh website -> go to properties -> go to operators tab
- add that user into Operator list
- Then that user can manager website by using its own security Context

But on Windows 2000 Pro box, you will not find the operators tab. This is a
by design behavior. IIS5 on Win 2000 Pro and IIS 5.1 on Win XP are designed
for Personal use in developing and testing purpose. It didn't embed the
feature to allow regular user to control website.

So I'd like to suggest you change to a server OS if you want to build a
shared development workstation. However in any cases, creating new web
sites is not allowed for non-admin users.

Please let us know if you have further question. Thanks.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
