On our Windows 2008 R2 server I have a site running under the default ASP.NET v4.0 application pool. The identity of ASP.NET v.4.0 app pool is set to "ApplicationPoolIdentity" (I guess this is default).
How do I grant this identity access to read from a custom folder within my site. I have tried "Application Pool Identity" and "ApplicationPoolIdentity" but both gives me:
An object named "Application Pool Identity" cannot be found.
Bonus question = should I instead forget about all this and make the change to store the files in app_data folder? Would that solve the issue?

Click the Locations button and make sure that you select your computer. Enter IIS AppPool\<myappoolname> (eg: IIS AppPool\PK Protect) in the Enter the object names to select: text box. Click the Check Names button and click OK. Check Modify under the Allow column, and click OK, and OK.
ICACLS <folder> /grant "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool":WRX did not work for me, it gave an error:
Invalid parameter "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool"
but, the following did work:
ICACLS <folder> /grant "IIS AppPool\nameoftheapppool:WRX"
