How to get identity (windows user) name for custom application pool in IIS

Question

In IIS on Win Server 2016 Standard, I have created new application pool 'MyApplicationPool' with:

1. .NET CLR Version: none

and configured non default website to use it.

However, when I try to use IIS APPPOOL\MyApplicationPool e.g. in folder security, it is not recognized..
