Log4net permission to write to the application event log when the user is not in the administrator group in Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7

I have a problem with log4net permission from ASP.Net 4.0 web application to write to the application event log when the user is not a member of the administrator group in Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7. We use NT authentication and impersonation. As soon as I assign the user group admin, it works fine. I tried with many permission settings, such as providing Authenticated Users full Eventlog permissions in the registry, etc., and none of them work. If someone can help, it will be great.

When I had a similar logging problem in eventlog from a .net 1.1 application on a Windows 2003 server, I wrote to CustomSD as shown below and it worked

The error I am getting is given below from the log4net internal log.

log4net:ERROR [EventLogAppender] Unable to write to event log [Application] using source [*******]
System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open log for source '*******'. You may not have write access. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied

Maybe something is missing me, but it seems like a simple permission issue for this user. By default, they do not have write access to the application log file. I know that you played with permissions, but I donโ€™t know exactly what permissions you assigned.
