tfs build user need to be admin on destination server for web deploy


To deploy via web deploy to IIS7 from Tfs Build - does the user tfs build is running under need to be administrator on the destination server?

I am working with MVC 4 .net app.


Solution

  • Requiring administrator access is the default, but MSDeploy supports non-administrator deployments as long as you're only deploying files, ACLs and database changes. If you need you deploy IIS settings, you'll still need administrator access.

    There are instructions on configuring non-admin deployments on iis.net
