I am getting this message when i try to run EditItemTemplate on the server. Acces to MyCalendar.xml" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

1. Right click on MyCalendar.xml
2. Click on Security tab
3. Click on Add (in order to add new user)
4. Type ASPNET (in order to add ASPNET account)
or
4. Type IUSR_[your_comp_name] (in order to add IIS anonymous account)
5. On the permission list click on Read and Write (or whatever you want)

...but the Soon is eclipsed by the Moon

I try all of webrobb and NotNowJohn said,however,nothing can be worked out.

I have alterned the MyCalendar.xml's Properties, added two security accounts and permitted Read and Write, that also in IIS.

BUT,

ASP.NET is still not authorized to access the requested resoure.

I don't know why!

I get it!

The most important thing to grant ASP.NET write access to a file is neither the object 'aspnet' nor the object 'IUSR_[your_comp_name]',but the 'user'.

Right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab.The only thing you need to do is click the 'modify' properity.

Then all thing would be right.

hi, I have the same problem, but my os is xp professional. When I right click the wwwroot I couldn't find any security tab. only general,sharing, web sharing and customize tabs.

Just Disable "Simple File Sharing" Checkbox Mode

1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
3. In the Advanced Settings section, clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
4. Click OK.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file???

Dear,
  There is a simple rule in security it's called (most restrictive), it means that if the a x is a member of a group y has a right permission permitted but group y hasn't that permission, so the user x will not be able to right..and vise versa, so my advice is clear all users from the list in security tab and start to add the users from scratch assigning them the permissions you want..and put the (most restrictive) rule in your mind, so make sure that this user is not a member of a group that hasn't this permission.
