It never needs write access to the repository unless you decide to switch off impersonation, in which case it needs read/write to the entire repository. Switching off impersonation is not recommended anyway. A link to the SetAcl page would probable be better. IMO giving full control to temp is overkill, but probably harmless unless you get a security breach from some other source. Tony
