Root Drive Permissions

[Jack21]

I have a security issue on a server.
ASP, HELM and PHP cannot run without Everyone permission on root drive c:, even though I set the correct permissions tot php and HELM cpanel is running under HELM identity.
Am I missing something here?
Root drive has system and administrators full permissions.

You will have to set Read and Execute permission in Drive C: for everyone,let directories should not inherit this permission means In this case the root drive is c:\ and new directories should not inherit the permissions.

all users and group have Bypass traverse checking permissions. The worker process identity is always inherits Bypass traverse checking permissions through this or Users groups. both groups are removed from Bypass traverse checking permissions, and the worker process identity does not inherit Bypass traverse checking permissions through any other assignment, the worker process does not start. If the Users group and the Everyone group must be removed from the Bypass traverse checking permissions, add the IIS_WPG group to permit IIS to function as expected.

"Everyone" user should have Read & Execute permissions on the root drive along with full permissions for the System user & Administrators group..

Yes I think Read & Execute permissions on the root drive will definitely solve your problem.
