Private Folder feature for AEM Pages

Question

You can create a private folder in the Adobe Experience Manager Assets user interface that is available exclusively to you. You can share this private folder to other users and assign various privileges to them. Based on the privilege level you assign, users can perform various tasks on the folder, for example, view assets within the folder or edit the assets[Private Folder].
OOTB, Its not available for Pages (logic behind looking for this approach is to provide child folder permission management exclusively to stakeholders). Is there any alternative that community can suggest similar to Private Folder in AEM Assets.

Hi,

The traditional ways to handle such scenarios with pages are using ACLs (Access Control Lists) or CUGs (Closed User Groups). The best solution will depend on your specific requirements. From what I understand, CUGs might be suitable for your needs. You can find more information here: CUGs Documentation. However, be aware that CUGs require additional setup and careful management.

On the other hand, ACLs provide a simpler approach. You can create a group with access to the specific pages you need and then remove the READ permission from everyone else. Assign individuals who need to view the pages to the group with the appropriate access.

Hope this helps
