IIS extension is not working - WAC 1909
A couple things to check on the server machine:
1. In `%ProgramFiles%\IIS Administration\2.3.0\Microsoft.IIS.Administration\config\appsettings.json`, does the following exist
"users": {
"administrators": [
"IIS Administration API Owners"
],
"owners": [
"IIS Administration API Owners"
]
},2. Does this group `IIS Administration API Owners` exist on your server?
3. Are you in this group (as IIS extension should have added you to the group)
IIS extension manages IIS via IIS Administration API. Which has it own permission settings. When you use IIS extension it should have ensured that you are in the "IIS Administration API Owners" group (by explicitly adding you to the group). There seem to be a bug there that we need to fix.
When you use local administratior username and password you are identified as .\Administrator and the same bug must have prevented IIS extension adding .\Administrator to the local group again. Only if you adding the username "administrator" to "IIS Administration Owners" would the IIS extension work.
