Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for getting in touch! I’m sorry to hear you’re hitting this access denied error. Are you using the built-in IIS step? Could you confirm that the user your Tentacle runs under has proper permissions on the IIS server? If not, would you be able to perform a quick test by adding the account to the administrators group and restarting?

If you’re unable to grant these permissions, you may have to use feature delegation to allow non-admins to perform certain actions as outlined in Microsoft’s documentation.

I hope this helps! Let me know how you go.

Best regards,

Kenny
