For months now I've had a headache of having to manually set write permission to my app_data folder after each publication to our test server.
I've decided to set the IIS_IUSRS account to have read/write permissions at the parent level located at c:\inetpub. This way when I publish it will always inherit this group.
Just interested to know if this is OK, or a no no? The web server is only used internally by myself so not sharing with any other users/sites.
Thanks.

If you are the only person who has access to the server, that is fine, but don't do this on a public server.
IIS_IUSRS
should not have write access to everything under c:\inetpub
, just a few specific locations where your web app needs to write to.
