Manage Central Point Access

To allow configuration changes, ensure that the user assigned to the CPConfiguratorPool application pool in IIS has full permissions on the Central Point shared folder—including both sharing and security (NTFS) permissions.

By following these steps, you ensure that the Central Point Configurator can read and write configuration changes to the Central Point shared folder.

Update application pool identity​

  1. Open IIS Manager.
    Press the Windows key + R, type inetmgr, and press Enter.
  2. In the left panel, select Application Pools.
  3. Right-click CPConfiguratorPool and choose Advanced Settings.
  4. Under the Process Model section, find the Identity property. Click the ellipsis (…) button next to it.
  5. In the dialog, select Custom account and enter the correct username and password.
  6. Click Ok to save your changes.

Verify folder permissions​

  1. Navigate to the Central Point shared folder in File Explorer.
  2. Right-click the folder and select Properties.
  3. On the Sharing tab, ensure the application pool user is listed with full access.
  4. On the Security tab, confirm that NTFS permissions also grant full control to the application pool user.
