Note : If you are using ASP. NET 2.0 and you must grant Windows user account metabase permissions, do not use the MetaAcl tool. Instead, run the ASP. NET IIS Registration tool command with the -ga option. For example, the following command grants the Windows user account <WindowsUserAccount> permissions to the IIS metabase:

Aspnet_regiis-ga <WindowsUserAccount>

warning : Improper editing of metabase may cause serious problems, and you may need to reinstall all products that use the metabase. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result from editing the metabase incorrectly can be resolved. Editing the metabase requires you to be at your own risk.

Note : Backups are made every time you edit the metabase.
