Limited permissions on subfolders?

Using IIS 5 to manage an intranet, can I set up folders with permissions
limited to only certain users? Would I need an ASP script for this, or can I
configure the necessary permissions in IIS?

To setup folders with special permissions you need to use permissions
on the both the IIS folders and then the windows folders for that
specific user or group.

In IIS Site folder or Virtual Directory called TechGroup is pathed to
E:\US\Midwest\TechGroup.

The Directory Permission in IIS for TechGroup need to have the same
user group (Myco\Techs) set to either anony access or authenticated
access as well as the E:\US\Midwest\TechGroup folder needs to have the
user group (Myco\Techs) permissions set to read&execute,List and Read.

Neither. IIS has no permission configuration, and you don't need ASP.

The easiest way to have file/folder permissions is to put your files
onto an NTFS filesystem and setup ACLs on the files folders limiting
access to certain users.

Thereafter, you just need to require authentication (any protocol
supported by IIS) by the user to access your web pages, and when users
access your webpages, they have to authenticate, and IIS will
automatically check the user against the NTFS ACL and allow/deny
access.

This requires all users to have user accounts on the IIS Server itself
or within an Active Directory joined by the IIS Server.
