You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.web
Every time IIS (Internet Information Services) is given a folder to access with information on a website, the 403 error page will appear if the right permissions are not given to the folder. It is a simple fix, but I don’t know why Microsoft hasn’t posted a proper answer on their KB, MSDN or their other support forums on this issue.shell
If you have just created an HTTP/HTTPS site on IIS 7/8 (may be true for other IIS installs as well), you need to assign IIS_IUSRS security permissions to your assigned web folder. To do that,app
-
1. Right click on the folder (the folder you assigned for web access in IIS)
-
2. Choose 「Properties」 (or 「Edit Permissions」 if you right clicked while inside the IIS window)
-
3. Go to 「Security」 tab
-
4. In the top box, 「Group or user names」, open 「Edit…」 (will take you to Permissions window)
-
5. You will most likely cannot fine IIS_IUSRS in the list; open, 「Add..」
-
6. In the box at the very bottom, 「Enter the object names to select (examples):」 enter IIS_IUSRS
-
7. Click OK and make sure in the Permissions window, you have allowed, Read & execute, List folder contents and Read
In a nutshell;Right click -> Properties/Edit Permissions -> Security (TAB) -> Edit (under Group or user names) -> Add (IIS_IUSRS) -> OK (make sure the right permissions described in steps 7 are there)ide
