Yeah, I'd still leave the group membership alone, and then just give
explicit permission for IUSR to modify the directory in which you want to
create folders. So, if you want IUSR to be able to create directories in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sitename, pull up the properties dialog of the "sitename"
folder in Windows Explorer, go to the security tab, add IUSR_computername,
and either give the user full control, or select individual permissions.
