What permissions do I need if IIS Manager is blank or empty?

Problem

Attempted Solutions

I added my account in AD to the groups Administrators, Domain Admins, Domain Users, IIS_Users.

IIS was missing the icons in red in the management section

so I ran the IIS Manager as administrator, entered the credentials of a domain account frequently used to install software and added the management service to get those icons.

I then added myself to the server and to the sites but for my account IIS Manager still looks like the first screenshot.

What permission setting could I still be missing?

Solution 1:

Try right-click on "Start Page", and then "Connect to server", type in your server's name/IP. I think you have just somehow deleted the connection to the server.

Solution 2:

You can try to Open IIS Manager "run as administrator"

OR

User should be member of IIS Group.

During the setting you need to run gpupdate /force to update the changes.

Thanks
