No, `.htaccess` files are not used in IIS. `.htaccess` files are primarily used on Apache web servers. In IIS, you configure permissions directly within the IIS Manager or through the `web.config` file. You can achieve similar access control using IIS's built-in features, such as authentication and authorization rules defined in the `web.config`.
