Manually setting folder permissions for Orchard CMS

Question

I need to reapply permissions to the folders under app_data since my app pool user changed. When I look at another site I've got it's got special permissions - not just read/write.

Is there a script to re-apply this - or what special permissions do I need to apply?

thanks!

There's a description in Orchard documentation specifying which folders should have which rights.

From the document:

You might have to set read/write permissions for the account that is configured as the identity for the IIS application pool on the following folders:

- Modules. This is required if you want to install modules from the gallery. (We recommend that you remove the read/write permissions for production sites.)
- Themes. This is required if you want to install themes from the gallery. (We recommend that you remove the read/write permissions for production sites.)
- AppData_. This folder is where Orchard stores site settings.
- Media. This folder is where Orchard stores media files (images, etc.).
