I'm trying to deploy an ASP.net MVC Web Site using a non-administrator account (with Web Deploy 3.0). According to all the videos and documentation I've seen this is possible. However, when I try to deploy I get an error (ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN).
I have added the user under "IIS Manage Users" on the server. This user exists on the site under "IIS Manager Permissions".
What am I missing?
Here is the pubxml:
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<WebPublishMethod>MSDeploy</WebPublishMethod>
<SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish>http://sitename.com/</SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish>
<MSDeployServiceURL>http://server.com</MSDeployServiceURL>
<DeployIisAppPath>IISsitename</DeployIisAppPath>
<RemoteSitePhysicalPath />
<SkipExtraFilesOnServer>True</SkipExtraFilesOnServer>
<MSDeployPublishMethod>RemoteAgent</MSDeployPublishMethod>
<UserName>user</UserName>
<_SavePWD>True</_SavePWD>
<PublishDatabaseSettings>
<Objects xmlns="">
</Objects>
</PublishDatabaseSettings>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN Diagnosis - This happens if you try to connect to the Remote Agent Service but have not provided appropriate administrator credentials. Resolution - The Remote Agent Service accepts either built-in Administrator or Domain Administrator credentials. If you have a non-domain setup and want to use account other that built-in administrator, please do following: Create a separate user group MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer. Create an local account A on both local & remote computer. Add A to MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer. Use account A to publish, this will allow you to publish without needing to use built-in > admin account.
