How to I add the IIS pool identity of my App Service local groups such as Performance Monitor Users

Question

I am current working out how to host and existing APS.NET application in Azure but it needs to access registry keys in order to register performance counters. I have not come across a way to do this without needing elevated access. If I try to use the command line tools I get access denied. eg If I try to use commands like

net localgroup "performance monitor users" IIS APPPOOL\MyServiceAppPool /add

One possibility is to use Windows Containers on App Service in which you have full control.

Here you can follow the quickstart to run a Windows Container in App Service: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-get-started-windows-container
