By default an IntraWeb application needs very few permissions to execute. These are the minimum requirements:

Read access to the Files if the files subdirectory is used.
Read access to the Templates subdirectory if templates are used.
Full access to the Cache subdirectory. By default if this directory does not exist, IntraWeb will create it and thus have the proper permissions. In this case, it must first have permissions to create directories in the directory it is contained in. You will get unpredictable errors, most probable access violations and internal server errors if access to this subdirectory is denied or restricted.

In addition if you are connecting to a database you will need to make sure that the application has proper permissions. This is especially true for local databases which access database files directly.

If using the BDE, you need to take special care so that the BDE can create its work directories as well as access the data files.
