Setup Permissions for ColdFusion User
Grant the user you created for ColdFusion to run as (cfuser in our example) and the Administrators
group full control over the ColdFusion installation directory. Remove all other user and group permission
from this directory.
Right click on your {cf.root} directory in Windows Explorer and select Properties. Click on the Security tab
then click Advanced. On the Permissions tab click the Disable inheritance button and select Remove all
inherited permissions from this object. This clears all permissions from the parent folder and allows you
to define a new set of permissions.
Click the Add button, in the Permission Entry dialog click Select a principal. Enter the cfuser as the
principal. Check Full control and click OK. Click Add again, and grant Full control to the Administrators
group.
Check the checkbox to Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries
from this object. Click OK to apply these permissions.
