I am a non-admin user trying to deploy a .net core app to IIS. I have been able to successfully publish the app to a folder, however, I am unable to open IIS manager without admin privilege so I can complete the deployment to IIS. Is there a way to do this without admin access or as a non-admin user?

Seems this should help: Microsoft Tech Community: Use Local IIS without Administrator rights [^]:
1. Run the application pool under the non-admin user’s account
2. Give SeDebugPrivilige to the domain user account

Quote:
For the two approaches mentioned there would be a negative affect as mentioned there, so please take that into consideration

Assuming it's your organization laptop and thus you don't have privilege. Talk to your manager/IT department. You can get an exception for learning purpose? Or admin limited priviledge for IIS folders.

I did ask. I was told to deploy the app to a folder and then configure IIS virtual application to point to that folder. I can deploy the app to a folder fine but I don't know how to do the IIS virtual application configuration, especially since I can't open IIS Manager. Do you have any suggestions, please?

Did you tell them to configure in IIS as virtual app you need to open IIS?
