What are the recommended guidelines for using the the Manual/Automatic options for the ResourceDeploymentMode property? What are the security requirements/implications of using Automatic? I tried it on a test server and found that my app pool did not have sufficient privileges to create the theme/* files. The IT folks will want to know specifically what privileges the app needs. Alternatively, I don’t mind setting it to Manual and deploying the files explicitly, but how volatile are these resources? Will I need to check and update the deployed files each time I upgrade the map suite? Any advise is appreciated. Thanks!
ResourceDeploymentMode Best Practices
Hi Randy,
Just as you know, it dependents, if using Automatic, the privilege of writing of website folder is required by the application, I guess it should be “NetworkService”.But actually I recommend using “Manual”, because the files under this folder “Theme” is stable for a long time, they haven’t been changed for a long time.
Hope it helped.

Johnny, thanks for the info. I will go with the Manual approach, to keep the security requirements to a minimum. I just wanted to make sure the theme files don’t change too often.
Cheers

Hi Randy,
Yes, we won’t often change the theme files, manual approach is good.
