Create content - 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Hi All,

After having moved a version 4 website over to a new server using IIS8.5 (app runs in .net 2.0 in classic mode) we have encountered a problem that happens when a user tries to create a new bit of content, the popup window comes up but displays -

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

I have added the network service permissions and IIS_IUSRS with full access but Im still getting the error

Can anyone please help?

Are you using anonymous authentication? If so, make sure to check the authentication settings. When you edit the anonymous authentication settings it may be using a different account from what the application pool identity is set to use.

  • Hi Jennifer, yes and on the 'Edit Anonymous Authentication Credentials' window it is set to 'Application pool identity' and not 'Specific User'.. – Bob the Builder Aug 22 '16 at 09:08
  • Make sure that application pool identity has permissions. Here's how to do it: http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities – Jennifer Killingsworth Aug 23 '16 at 16:12
