We want to restrict our developers to a standard user (no administrator
rights) but they need to use the full features of IIS from Windows XP SP2.
Does anybody know how to do it? Please let me know. Thanks.
Hi,
You can change the IIS metabase ACLs that will allow your users to change
metabase properties (e.g. using a command line tool).
The IIS Manager is hard coded to check that the user is in the
Administrators group before allowing the user to use it, unfortunately.
additionally, IIS stores some settings in the registry (HKLM) so normal
users would not be able to alter those settings. Also, normal users do not
have permissions to start/stop/restart services by default (so you'd need to
delegate those permissions as well).
One option, if this sounds like too much work,would be to give you
developers virtual machines (using something like Virtual PC). They can be
administrators on these development machines, but normal users on their
corporate desktop/laptop machines.
Cheers
