Need To Access IIS_WPG Permissions

Hi.

I have an ISAPI Rewrite folder that needs IIS_WPG read/modify
permissions. When I navigate to the ISAPI_Rewrite folder and click on
the security tab, neither ASPNET or IIS_WPG are in the list of options
to chose from. When I try to add them, neither ASPNET or IIS_WPG are
found (name not found) in the "select users, computers, or groups)
dialog.

When I go to Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Groups I
clearly see IIS_WPG. I see ASPNET under the Users folder.

How do I get IIS_WPG to be an option in the security tab so I can
set related permissions on the folder? I am using Windows Server 2003,
SP2 / IIS 6.0.

Thanks.

I have just realized that this question is better suited for an IIS
group. If you know the answer, might as well post. Otherwise, I am
going to repost in IIS and sorry for the misdirection.

Thanks.

Permissions on the folder need to be granted to the "IUSR_<servername>"
account or the "IWAM_<servername>",...or maybe both in some cases.
