I assume that the account your application run under hasn't this privilege.

You need to check the current app account of user. If you use IIS 6.0, NETWORK SERVICE is the account. If you use IIS 7, you need to find the which application pool your site runing under and based on that pool, check the application pool identity to see if this identity has enough permission. More information about application pool identity, you can check these link:

Alternative way and what a simple way is to use impersonation to run ASP.NET under an account that has permission in a secure context, and also you can assign a specific username and password for this account.
