IIS Application Pool Identity

Advanced Insights IIS Application Pool Identity

Starting with version 2.4.1, the installation of Advanced Insights supports the configuration of a custom IIS Application Pool identity. A default installation of Advanced Insights sets 'LocalSystem' as the identity for both the Advanced Insights Api and Frontend IIS application pools.

A custom identity (Active Directory account) can be set as part of the installation either for a new install or upgrade. When using a custom identity, the account is also granted full control file system permissions on the following directory path: C:\ProgramData\AdvancedInsights.

See - IIS Configuration selection

The IIS application pool identity can also been modified for existing installs too.
