title: Using Web Deploy tool for IIS - works with administrator account but not IIS or Windows user account
body: <p>I am struggling with the massive beast that seems to be WMSvc - Web Management service for IIS.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to deploy web sites from Visual Studio which is killing me. Actually it's killing everyone except me on my team, but since I am designated web server manager right now I'm the one thats feeling the hurt.</p>
  
  <p>It works when I deploy using my Admin windows account, which atleast means I should be on my way, but it doesn't work with another account that isn't admin or an IIS manager account.</p>
  
  <p>Let me show you what I've done:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Installed WMSvc.</p></li>
  <li><p>Seemingly configured it. Under MYSERVER/Management Service I the settings are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Enable Remote Connections
  Windows credentials or IIS Manager credentials
  Access for unspecified clients - allow.
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>Added a user MYUSER as IIS Manager account. Also added a windows account MYSERVER\MYUSER</p></li>
  <li>Added those users under MYSERVER/My web site/IIS Manager Permissions.</li>
  <li>Sacrificed a goat.</li>
  <li><p>Added rules under MYSERVER/Management Service Delegation</p>
  
  <pre><code>Deploy Applications with Content - and added user *
  Set Permissions - and added user *
  </code></pre></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After all this, it worked from my Windows admin account, but not from the other accounts. Visual Studio reported 401 unauthorized. In the article I followed there was the below citation under Troubleshooting:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>User receives 401 unauthorized error
    while trying to connect to a Web site.
    o Cause(s): This error comes from
    WMSVC and is usually an error with
    username/password, or because the user
    does not have access to the Web site.
    o Resolution(s): Verify the
    username/password and that the user
    has access to the Web site.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But to be honest, I have no idea what I've done wrong by now. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any answers.</p>
