Folder Structure & File Permissions

Folder Structure (Web Application)

The deployed site should mirror the /app folder from the solution, including:

• /App_Code
• /bin
• /config
• /controllers
• /css
• /fonts
• /images
• /js
• /pages
• /reports
• /Views
• web.config
• touch-settings.json

Additional folders may be created by BLOB adapters (e.g. under App_Data or custom paths) for file storage.

Permissions

Assign permissions on the web root as follows:

• Read & Execute for IIS worker process identity on all application folders.
• Modify / Write where required:
• BLOB storage folders (if using filesystem-based BLOB adapters).
• Temporary or cache folders (if configured).

Under shared hosting, confirm with the provider how permissions are applied and ensure:

• The application can write where necessary for attachments.
• No sensitive directories are exposed via direct HTTP access.

Revisit this section if BLOB adapters are reconfigured to use different locations.
