Plesk Resetting Custom Folder Permissions for ASP.NET Websites

Mr Fett

Basic Pleskian
Hi all,

I'd really appreciate any help with this!

I migrated to Plesk in December and now and then have noticed some of my websites go down. Logging in, I found the folder permissions needed had been reset. I've now seen this numerous times and can confirm that Plesk is doing it.

I need to be able to permanently set the following permissions to the httpdocs folder and stop Plesk resetting them:

IIS_IUSRS (Read/Write)
IUSR_customerName (Full Control)

Does anyone know how I can prevent Plesk from doing this? Having my website randomly start failing is really starting to get some of my customers angry and I don't really have a good reason for them.

I've searched and the only fix I can find is here: http://diendanmaychu.vn/archive/index.php/t-31611.html. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me as:

a) The IIS_IUSRS user group isn't listed in the users via File Manager and this needs access.
b) Plesk tells me I cannot change the permissions when trying to do so via File Manager

Thanks in advance for any help!
