Iis – Can’t view list of sites in IIS

iispermissionsuser-accounts

One of our team members can't see the list of web sites in IIS on one of our servers. When he loads IIS he just sees an empty Start Page node. If he right-clicks on the Start Page node, and then on "Connect to a Server", and he puts the name of the server he's logged into he gets an "Access is Denied" error. When I log in to the server I can see the list no problem

We checked with the server admin and both of our user accounts are Administrators. Could this be a permissions issue related to his user account or would this be a setting in IIS itself that needs to be updated?

Best Answer

Have you checked that the team member user account is in the "IIS Manager Permissions" page at the websites level? IIS uses very granular permissions in order for a user to view web Sites. Are you using Windows Authentication only?
