Server Error in '/' Application.
Access to the path '$(sourceFolder)\Foundation\Articles\serialization' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '$(sourceFolder)\Foundation\Articles\serialization' is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in File Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Iv tried suggestions taken from the following:
Problems with error: "Access to the path is denied."
1) Open Internet Information Systems (IIS) Manager
2) Expand the site you want to modify (hit the plus next to the name) 3) Right-click the directory where you would like to be able to write files and select Edit Permissions 4) Click on the Security tab 5) Click on Edit... under the group and users list 6) Select IIS_IUSRS from the "Groups or user names" list and add make sure the Allow checkbox is marked for Write.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource when accessing temp folder
a really simple fix to solve my issue, in IIS I had to right click on Application Pools and set .NET Framework V4 to Integrated rather than classic/. Another solution was to set the specific folder that was being accessed to read/write to the users that required it, this can be done by unique users or within an organization, a group of users
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/47503132/19587900)
(1) I have gone to wwwroot folder. Right-click and security tab. Provided IISUSER to set read and write permission to the wwwroot folder. (2) Changed the application pool to the separate pool and set identity to Application pool Identity.
Iv tried other things but so far no success
