Hi,

I would like to limit access to certain areas of the AEM landing dashboard for some groups, for example, the "Form". So they can't even see it. Here is my package

Under jcr_root/libs/cq/core/content/nav/forms/_rep_policy.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:rep="internal"
    jcr:primaryType="rep:ACL">
    <deny1
        jcr:primaryType="rep:DenyACE"
        rep:principalName="dept1-admin"
        rep:privileges="{Name}[jcr:read]"/>
    <deny2
        jcr:primaryType="rep:DenyACE"
        rep:principalName="dept2-admin"
        rep:privileges="{Name}[jcr:read]"/>
</jcr:root>

Then the META-INF/vault/filter.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/libs/cq/core/content/nav" mode="replace"/>
</workspaceFilter>

But after installing the package, I don't see anything changing under the /libs/cq/core/content/nav/form. I was expecting two nodes created underneath to limit access for the dept1-admin and dept2-admin. Can anyone please advise?

Thanks!
