Below are some good links you can go through these to understand the iis user
In summary:
IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) - it's a local ASPNET account
IIS 6 - by default, application pools run under the Network Service account which is a member of IIS_WPG group
IIS 7.0 - still Network Service
IIS 7 SP2 / 7.5 - runs under an ephemeral thing called ApplicationPoolIdentity which maps to an account IIS APPPOOL\ApplicationPool (e.g. IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool). This account is a member of IIS_IUSRS user group
