How to Set Folder Permissions for Staging Accounts
You must provide staging authentication accounts with Create, Read, Write, and Delete permissions on the destination folder when you stage Web content. If you specify a temporary storage folder when you create a business data project, you must also provide the staging authentication account with the same permissions on the temporary storage folder. The staging account is used to write new files and remove preexisting files. The Web content or business data project will fail if these permissions are not set.
Note
You must set these permissions on each Web server that is defined in the staging topology of your project.
Follow these steps to assign full permissions to the staging authentication account specified for your Web content staging project.
