Write access on root

I would like users to be able to create a sitemap.xml file on the fly and store it in the root. I don't really want to give write permissions on the root folder.

Is there a way to do this?

Re: Write access on root

Instead of creating sitemap.xml files pr. user it would probably be a better idea to implement a sitemap provider reading i.e. from a database.

When implementing af sitemap provider you can easily vary the content based on how is logged in.

You can find a basic example for a sitemapprovider giving a static sitemap here

Thanks. I was referring to a google sitemap.xml file that is generated based on URLs that are generated from a SQL Server database. I have a stored proc that basically returns records containing

loc
lastmod
changefreq
priority

hi there,

based on your requirement, you have to always give the write permission to generate the intended sitemap.xml.

Please mark this response as an "answer" if it helps you. Thanks heaps!

I agree with necro_mancer. You can use the location element to provide the permissions specifically

Re: Write access on root

I ended up rendering the file on the fly using FileStreamResult. Sitemap.xml or sitemap.xml.gz can always be found even though it doesn't really exist as a static file.
