How can I make my IIS APPPool\NameHere administrator? I want my application to be able to check system processes to monitor Processes like w3wp.exe via the AppPool (C#)
It only allows me to get the name of the AppPool the application is currently running

you will not be able to set AppPoolIdentity to a specific group, but you can
- create a local user (compmgmt.msc)
- add the user to the administrator group (compmgmt.msc)
- Set the application pool to run under that user, under Advanced Settings.
Obviously you know this is a very bad idea from a security perspective, and should never ever ever be performed on a forward facing server.
You can assign permissions to an app pool user, even if you can't set them to a role. see instructions here:
