2. In the CatalogWebService folder, right-click CatalogAuthorizationStore.xml, and then click Properties.

3. In the CatalogAuthorizationStore.xml Properties dialog box, on the Security tab, click Add.

4. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groupsdialog box, in the Enter the object names to select box, type the IIS worker process, and then click OK.

5. In the CatalogAuthorizationStore.xml Properties dialog box, on the Security tab, select the IIS worker process.

6. In the Permissions for <IIS worker process> section, under Allow, select Write, and then click OK.

You have successfully assigned write access to the Catalog Web service authorization policy for the appropriate IIS worker process account.
