selectively lock or unlock different sections of the global configuration so that they can
be overridden by a local web.config file. Furthermore, since administration is all configuration
file??“based, all the developer or Web site owner would need is access to upload the
configuration files to their application space and the changes would be made available.
You don??™t have to worry about developers writing code and mucking around in your
IIS metabase. Each site can have its own settings, while you still have overall control
as to which options others can configure. You need to remember, however, that locking
and unlocking the configuration of various features changes values only in the related
configuration files. You will still need to make sure that the permissions (ACLs) of all
your configuration files are set appropriately so that the root configuration files can??™t be
modified or replaced.
Delegation can be performed in two ways: You can lock or unlock features you want
to delegate graphically through the IIS Manager or through the command prompt using
APPCMD.EXE. Technically, there is a third way, which is to modify the configuration
files??”which are simply XML text files??”in any text editor such as Notepad; but for the most
part, you should stick to one of the two standard methods. Configuring feature delegation
using the graphical method is more straightforward than mucking around with APPCMD
