VS Resets IIS Folder Permissions On Publish

Question

After I set a user to have full permissions on my website on IIS 7.5, then I publish (using VS 2010) to find that the permissions for that user have been reset to read only.

I publish quite often so any way around this issue?

Answer 1

I found a solution for this that keeps the permissions intact :

1. Share the web server www folder
2. Publish to that folder using "File System" publish option.

However you must publish at least once using the normal deploy method, so that the correct account is created on the webserver.
