Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista

When you configure default delegation for a parent level, such as at the server or site level, you affect all children in the parent. If you want to change the delegation settings for a specific child, you can configure custom delegation and override the default settings.

Prerequisites

For information about the levels at which you can perform this procedure, and the modules, handlers, and permissions that are required to perform this procedure, see Delegation Feature Requirements (IIS 7).

Exceptions to feature requirements

  • None

To configure custom delegation settings for a site or an application

  1. Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7).

    • If you want to delegate features of a specific site on your Web server, click the server node in the tree.

Note

To delegate features of a site on a Web server, you must be a server administrator.
