Trying to understand IIS permissions

Solution 1:

The group BUILTIN\Users has Write Access to your C:\Site1-Logs directory.

The user IIS AppPool\Site1 is automatically a member of the Users group because that is a special group under Windows.

This is why your web-site has write access.

You can't remove IIS AppPool\Site1 from users, but you could remove the permissions of the users groups from the directory.
