| Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: | We request the ability to set a password for public links shared via AEM Assets. This feature is essential for securely sharing sensitive assets in compliance with internal security policies. Currently, AEM does not provide password protection for shared links, posing a significant security gap. |
| Use-case: | Our mobile phone assets contain critical security data, and their distribution must be tightly controlled. However, the current public link sharing feature in AEM Essentials lacks proper security management. We are seeking a password protection feature to safeguard sensitive content—particularly assets shared at the headquarters level. Since these links are often shared with external design agencies who do not have AEM accounts, existing user governance is insufficient. All users with access to the link can currently view the content, which creates compliance and confidentiality risks. |
| Current/Experienced Behavior: | AEM Assets allows public link sharing but does not support password protection. As a result, anyone with the link can access the asset, with no additional security mechanisms in place. |
| Improved/Expected Behavior: | The ability to set passwords for shared links would align AEM Essentials with standard security practices supported by other cloud platforms. This would significantly improve asset security and access control. |
