I'm creating a new web application on a new SP install. I logged in ok to the central admin site with a setup account.But when i'm on the CREATE NEW WEB APPLICATION page and i get to Application Pool the default account(Configurable) it wnats me to choose is the Farm Acount. Should i be using the Farm accout or i have to register a new managed account to use. I have Application Pool accts already setup.Is that what i should be using or the farm acct? THanks in Advance

The application pool account will be used by the code when the code is executed in "Run with elevated previlage" option. Its better to use a different managed account other than Farm administrator as through elevated previlage code, the user can get the highest access level to SharePoint.

Thanks Manju.before i created a managed account the only acct that was listed to set a new web app was a farms account.But since i created a managed account i use it and i understand that should be the right account to use. – naijacoder Aug 20 '12 at 0:06
