IIS Developer Express lets standard users perform most tasks, including creating, developing, and publishing websites, using the WebMatrix Beta UI and (in the future) Visual Studio 2010. The setup program installs a self-signed certificate that allows standard users to use SSL without elevation. Certain tasks do require elevated user rights. This includes: • Running a website on port 80 or another reserved port • Installing a custom SSL certificate • Running network-facing websites You must also have administrator user rights when using WebMatrix Beta and IIS Developer Express on Windows Server 2003 SP2+.
