title: Granting access to IIS 7.5 ApplicationPoolIdentity
body: <p>When I try to access my ASP.NET MVC application I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\bin\test.Platform.Config.xml' is denied
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run IIS 7.5 with an application pool that has the property:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Identity: ApplicationPoolIdentity
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I imagine it is because the 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' cannot read the file I try to access. So my question is: Since the 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' is not a system user, which user or group do I need to grant further access in order to allow the 'ApplicationPoolIdentity' to read the file?</p>
  
  <p>Or is there some other explanation for this authorization problem?</p>
