Let's say, I have an application that access(read/write) the file system(files inside application), Active Directory and SQL Server Database. I need to give the permission to this account, so that he access these things. Application pool identity is IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4, Anonymous Auth is enabled(which is configure to IUSR), Forms Auth.

Below are some good links you can go through these to understand the iis user
In summary:
IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) - it's a local ASPNET account
IIS 6 - by default, application pools run under the Network Service account which is a member of IIS_WPG group
IIS 7.0 - still Network Service
IIS 7 SP2 / 7.5 - runs under an ephemeral thing called ApplicationPoolIdentity which maps to an account IIS APPPOOL\ApplicationPool (e.g. IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool). This account is a member of IIS_IUSRS user group
Infomation source:-
User ASP.NET runs under
What are all the user accounts for IIS/ASP.NET and how do they differ?
