Recommended Permissions for MailSite Express 7 This documents the suggested permissions for MailSite Express.

The MailSite 7 installer will create an NT account called 'MSIISUSER' where possible and use this under the Express virtual directory in IIS. You can specify your own account if you wish by making a change through IIS under the Directory Security option of the virtual directory.

The account used for the virtual directory/website needs to have at least the following folder permissions (in addition to the standard permissions assigned by Windows):

• MailSite\ - Modify
• BOX\ - Modify
• Spool\ Modify

The folders must be set to allow the permissions on the parent folders to be inherited to the child objects.

When you log into Express, IIS will use the account specified under the virtual directory (or website) for communicating with the disk, therefore by default it will use MSIISUSER. This needs to be able to write to the BOX & Spool directories. The MSIISUSER account also needs to be able to read and write to the temp and cache directories. Providing 'Modify' access on the MailSite directory will allow this.
