Does ASP.NET user security be increased

[Aayush]

Hi,
I am developing ASP.NET web applications that involves automating of office componets (like Word etc.) for which I need to read/write .doc files etc. But with the default prividges I encountered an error saying that the IU_ASPNET user's privedges do not allow the doc file to be opened !!!
So for testing purpose only I increased the privedges of the IU_ASPNEt user to administrator, which in my view is very bad for security reasons, but I cant figure out how to set the minimal privedges to this user to make my application both secure and working

Looking anxiously for answers and suggestions

use the active user impersonation or you can choose a particular account to
authenticate your local request on the server.

if your actual authentication method is Windows, I recommend to impersonate.
In this case the security used to access your local ressources on the server
is the client security.

look at the <impersonate> tag in your web.config file.
