Getting the following error while publishing .NET code in VS 19, 
I enabled rewrite URL feature in IIS, I also allowed full permissions in the properties->security tab of the directory.
But when I try to unmark the read only, and click on apply for all the subfolders and then click save and ok, it reverts back to read only. I unticked it multiple times and saved, but it comes back to read only mode in the properties->general tab.
Im using windows 2016 IIS version and the visual studio is 2019 enterprise.

Hi @Kurakula, Julia ,
From your description, I understand that you are publishing a site in Visual Studio but getting Access Denied error.
It looks like a permission issue to me. I would suggest you add a Write a permission to the user on a directory where you are publishing the site(e.g. wwwroot). Also remove the Read only Checkbox.
Further, try to run the Visual Studio as an Administrator. Then try to publish the site,
It may help to fix the issue.
Let us know about your test results.
Best Regards,
Deepak
Hi @Deepak-MSFT , Thanks for your response.
I am opened VS 19 in admin mode and tried to publish, I have the write access enabled already. But when I uncheck the read access in the general tab, It is not getting unchecked.. I mean, as soon as I click on apply and ok, read access reverts back to the uncheck status. Does it has anything to do with enabling permissions in the FTP servers as well?
Hi @Kurakula, Julia ,
could you please inform us at which location you are publishing the site?
for testing purposes, could you try to publish it to the local folder on your OS? See whether it publish it?

Yes, we are doing migration and I tried to publish in old server, and it worked fine there,
Hi @Kurakula, Julia ,
Do you mean you are trying to publish to the FTP?
Besides, you could manually move the locally published app to that location. It could be the easy work around until we find the fix for the above mentioned error.
Hi Thanks!, after changing permission settings, we were able to access.
I suggest you dispose all folders using code and close all using explorer (if those are using in your project) before compilation start.
Regards.
