Administering IIS 8 Administrator and User Security

Administrative permissions for IIS 8 servers, websites, directory, applications and pages can be granted to Active Directory and to local Windows users. In addition, IIS specific accounts can be added and used for administration purposes. The use of Active Directory accounts is usually recommended as it is easier to manage and scales well when more than one or two IIS servers are used. Account and security management within IIS 8 requires installation of the Management Service role service.
