How to grant identity ApplicationPoolIdentity read rights to folder within my site

ICACLS <folder> /grant "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool":WRX did not work for me, it gave an error:

Invalid parameter "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool"

but, the following did work:

ICACLS <folder> /grant "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool:WRX"

asp.net iis iis-7 permissions identity

You can use the ICACLS tool for this.The usage herefore is:

(Command-prompt)> ICACLS <folder> /grant "IIS AppPool\<nameoftheapppool>":WRX

that should do the trick. ( If you replace the placeholders with the right values )
