# Advanced Insights IIS Application Pool Identity *Applies to: Patch My PC Advanced Insights* 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 - [Insights IIS Configuration selection](/patch-my-pc-insights/download-and-install-insights/insights-iis-configuration-selection.md) The IIS application pool identity can also been modified for existing installs too. See - [Modify Insights IIS App Pool Identity](/patch-my-pc-insights/modify-insights/modify-insights-iis-app-pool-identity.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
