IIS7 Remote Manager Access Denied Error

If you have been playing with the remote management capabilities in IIS7, you might run into an error where you are denied access to change anything from the remote client:

A quick investigation using ProcMon shows that "Local Service" is trying to modify the configuration file (web.config) in the managed directory and is being denied access.

Naturally, to fix this you need to give write access to "Local Service" for whatever application you are trying to manage.
