How can we see which groups a given group belongs to?

Hi!

 

I need to take over the administration of an AEM instance and I'm trying to understand how the permissions and groups have been configured.

There are a lot of groups on AEM and I would like to know which group belongs to. It's easy to find the members of a group, but how can I find the upper level (the "parent" of a group)?

 

Thanks!

Hi @jeremymo2 

 

You can use ACS Commons User Exporter utility to download the list of users as part of CSV file to export or generate the list of available users from AEM in an Excel file, which will provide the direct and indirect relationship. As a prerequisite, you need to have ACS Commons package in your instance

    Thank you for your answer.

    Unfortunately, ACS Commons requires a library that is not authorized in our company.

     

    Is there another way to do it?

    Hi @jeremymo2 , If you have access to AEM Groovy Console, you can run a script to check the member groups from list of user groups. Script  would be similar to the ACS Commons utility defined above.

      Hi @jeremymo2 ,

       

      If you want to find the parent of any group or user, have you tried going to useradmin console?

      You can search for any user or group there, and on the right side under the "Groups" tab, you'll see a list of all the groups they belong to, which are effectively their parent groups.

       

      Let me know if that’s what you were asking.

       

      Thanks.
