Can anyone tell me the security impliations of giving IUSER full control of all folders on a web site? I have an application that requires this and I'm not sure if I want to set the permissions this way.

Thanks,

Yes. The implications are:

1. Anybody could do anything they wanted with your servers, UNLESS that account can only be used from inside your own network.

2. See #1. :eek:)

That's what I thought. Why would anyone design an application that requires this?

Thanks,

Usually only for use inside their network. What kind of app is it?
