Generally you do not need your iis account to access an SQL database from within a website. &nbsp;Your SQL connection string should have the username and password set.<br />
<br />
See the example connection string below:<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42430411-1"><span>Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;</span>
<span>Password=myPassword;</span>
</code></pre>

When you host a website that pulls data from a SQL server, I believe you have to create an account in IIS that has the privileges to access the SQL server.

Correct, but only if your application manages identities internally and not via Windows/SQL users.<br />
Otherwise, you need to use SQL integrated authentication and use the context of the user
