Missing Publish Dependency Wizard for Page

Hello Community,

 

In one environment, when I publish a page I do NOT get the Publish (dependency) wizard screen that lists referenced assets (e.g., images, Target configs, experiences). In the other (working) environment, that screen appears and shows “All Assets” with the referenced items (see screenshot). I need to know which group memberships and path permissions are required so this wizard appears and allows me to include dependent assets/activities.

 

/libs/wcm/core/content/sites/publishpagewizard.html?item=/content/project/en/us&editmode

 

Observed:

  • Working environment: Selecting the page and choosing Manage Publication (or Publish) opens the dependency wizard (screenshot).
  • Non‑working environment: The wizard does not appear; publication proceeds (or fails) without showing referenced assets, so dependent items (e.g., assets / Target activities) are not republished.
  • Only difference so far: User/group permissions and possibly a custom workflow used in the failing environment.


Which AEM groups and JCR path privileges are required for a user to (a) open the Publish wizard, (b) list referenced assets/configs, and (c) replicate them? Thank you!

Hi @test1234567 

Required Groups

  • administrators → full access
  • content-authors + content-publishers → read + replicate rights
  • target-admin/marketing → if Target activities are referenced

Required Path Permissions

Path

Permissions

/content/...

jcr:read, replicate

/content/dam/...

jcr:read, replicate

/conf/...

jcr:read, replicate

/var/target/...

jcr:read, replicate

Notes

  • Missing permissions on any referenced asset/config stops the dependency wizard from appearing.
  • Custom workflows can bypass the wizard — check if one is active.

refer to the official Adobe Experience Manager documentation:

These resources provide comprehensive guidance on configuring and troubleshooting publication workflows and permissions.

 

Hope this helpful 🙂

Karishma.
