The default IIS Express configuration allows users to run websites without administrative privileges. The setup program also installs a self-signed server certificate that enables standard users to run a site over SSL. 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 IIS Express on Windows Server 2003 SP2+.
