Configuring an IIS site for non-admin users

Steps to configure the IIS site in EventLog Analyzer for non-admin users:

1. In the IIS server, navigate to the C directory (Note: The default location may vary)

   

2. Right-click inetpub and select Give access to → Specific people.

   

3. Add the service account user with read permission level and click on Share

   

4. If the pop-up occurs, click on Don't change settings.

   

5. Navigate to inetpub → logs → properties → Security → add the service account with read access permission. (Note: The default location may vary)

   

Note: Ensure that both the main folder (inetpub) and only the folder and sub-folder with the logs have the required permissions for the service account, as sometimes only the main folder gets the necessary privileges.
6. Navigate to EventLog Analyzer console → Settings → Application → IIS site, Enter the Username and password of service account (Do not verify the credentials - when you do it will display verification failed) > Add site

   

7. Enter the IIS site name, path → Add and configure
