We need to create a file on a specified folder, to accomplish the task we need to give write permission to IIS user so our client is considered of security issue for the system.I wanted to know if IIS user is given a write permission to a folder will their be any security issues?

It depends. The person will be able to write to the specific folder but won't be able to write to any other folder he doesn't have permission to. Some people don't even reccommend write permissions at all. See here (http://windows.stanford.edu/docs/IISsecchecklist.htm)
q Remove NTFS write perms everywhere possible.
