As the Workfront platform expands across different lines of business in your organizations, how are Admins solving for request queue access?   Let's say we have a request queue for Marketing Materials, but only a subset of users in the organization needs access to the queue - are you sharing with groups, teams etc? How are you managing those assignments at the user level.   Trying to brainstorm and think about how best to accomplish this without a ton of need for user management that takes up Admin time.     

Instead of iterating/filtering over items to create a new list of forms, fields or other objects, it literally takes 2 modules: The first to transform the object into JSON, the second JSONata. In JSONata you can filter / map (transform) and many other things. https://tryjsonata.org for online learning/testing - just slap the JSON in here and work out the set of functions.My use case: I have a data CSV to import, where each row has a column that is a dropdown in WF. So I want to check: remove any WF option that is not in the new data file add any option that is not yet in WF. The JSONata expression is this: ( $importList := {{31.json}}; /* from a previous transformToJSON module */ $existing := {{30.json}}; /* from a previous transformToJSON module */ $oktokeep := $filter( $existing, function ( $v ) { $v.value in $importList ? true:false }); $toadd:= $map($filter( $importList , function ($v){ ( ($v in $existing.value) ? false :true ) }), function ($v) { { "objCode": "POP

I wanted to find out who the project or instance admin vs. rely on tribal knowledge for this. This is so one can communicate need for access or any customization that may be needed on a project or instance.   So "About" under Help would be useful to cover the instance and admins.  Similary on a Project summary apart from the project owner knowing who the admin is would be valauble.

Test Automation on AEMaaCS (part 2) by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction In the first part of our test automation blog series, we explored why test automation is essential for AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), where continuous delivery and shared code ownership simply make manual testing inefficient. We covered the four pillars of a robust testing strategy:  Unit tests to catch backend bugs early UI tests to protect the end user and authoring experience Lighthouse tests to ensure great frontend performance and SEO Backend performance tests to validate scalability With these foundations in place, in the second part, we'll focus on automating test execution and reporting, turning strategy into action. First, we'll discuss which tooling options are available for writing and executing different types of tests in AEMaaCS. Then, we'll check which automation options are available in Cloud Manager. Finally, we'll demonstrate how to get this type of automati

Email Integration with OAuth SMTP  by Ashwini SatheOverviewAEM as a Cloud Service offers OAuth 2 support for its integrated Mail Service to allow organisations to adhere to secure email requirements. AEM’s DefaultMailService supports both Basic and OAuth 2 authentication. Basic authentication is easy to achieve but might not support modern security requirements. OAuth 2 is more secure than basic authentication.OAuth 2 support is available in AEM for multiple email providers like gmail, outlook etc. Here we will be mainly focusing on Microsoft Office 365 Outlook.Before we start with the setup, we need to consider below requirementsIs client SMTP public/internet or private/intranet? — If it is public, then we have to enable flexible egress in advanced networking on AEM as a Cloud Service. If it is private, then dedicated egress needs to be enabled and the dedicated IP needs to be whitelisted.Which SMTP port? — SMTP on ports 25/587/468 needs to be enabled by 

How to Programmatically Send Notifications to Users in AEMby NeerajI have always wondered how we could notify users after executing background logic using AEM Sling Jobs. Unlike workflows with built-in notification mechanisms, there didn’t seem to be a direct way to inform users once a job was completed. This led me to explore different options, and that’s when I came across the TaskManager API.So just for the context: AEM includes an Inbox feature that enables users to receive notifications for assigned tasks. While workflows automatically trigger these notifications, we can use TaskManager API to send these notifications programmatically Full ArticleRead the full article with implementation on https://medium.com/@neerajchaudhary856/how-to-programmatically-send-notifications-to-users-in-aem-c198673a89bf Q&APlease use this thread to ask questions relating to this article

Revisiting a Natural ConclusionIt's not uncommon to get a request to migrate all of your production content to a lower environment. Almost all of the use cases are some variation of: "we need to have a full set of content in non-production to do regression testing." This is a natural conclusion to reach to ensure that all of the content is working as expected. While the intention is good, it's not the best approach. There are a few reasons to explore that can help lead to a better path.Validation at Scale is a Tall Order - Even the most dedicated testing and validation teams can't validate all content. Keeping the tests in order to match production requires a lot of effort that isn't realistic to achieve.Resource Efficiency Matters - The migration of production content will use considerable resources in non-production. It's like filling a model home with furnishings when the house won't ever be used.Syncing can Steal the Spotlight - Instead of having resources bringing value to other p

Mastering Sling Filters in AEM By Neeraj Chaudhary Imagine you’re entering a building (your AEM website), and there’s a security guard at the entrance. Before you walk in, the guard can:Check your ID (authentication)Tell you to go to a different entrance (redirect)Make a note of who entered (logging)Ask you to wear a mask (set headers)A Sling Filter works just like that security guard. It checks and sometimes modifies the request before it reaches your actual AEM page or component. It can also update the response before it’s returned to the user.In short: Sling Filters sit in the middle of every request and response, letting you add custom logic like checking, blocking, redirecting, or modifying content.In this blog, we’ll explore Sling Filters, how they work, their real-world use cases, and how to implement them efficiently. Full ArticleRead the full article at https://medium.com/@neerajchaudhary856/mastering-sling-filters-in-aem-

I've had a few engaging conversations lately around access levels and permissions in Workfront. Here are a couple of narratives I've heard: Custom access levels are imperative for system governance If I'm paying for users to have X license, they should be able to do everything with that license for the cost to make sense What value have you seen from putting strong governance in place around access levels and object permissions? Or, on the contrary, why are you not limiting what your users can do?   I’d love to gather real-world insights and lessons learned from the Workfront community.

AEM Frontend Architecture Guide: Classic, JAMStack, or EDS?  by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction Choosing the right frontend architecture in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is no longer just a technical decision; it’s a strategic one. Whether you opt for a classic AEM server-side component approach with HTL, a modern JAMStack implementation with frameworks like React and Next.js, or Adobe's Edge Delivery Services (EDS), each choice impacts time-to-market, SEO, authoring experience, and scalability. This guide will help you align your frontend architecture with your business goals and future-proof your digital experiences. With AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), Adobe has shifted towards a more composable and scalable content delivery model.

I am currently working on a POC for Machine translation. In my local I couldn't setup as its asking for subscription key. So tried creating Translation Integration Config in lower cloud environment, and mapped it to my page (My Site - Language Master - Language Copy root page (English, Russian and Arabic) - in Page Properties Advance Tab Cloud Configuration path - It taking up /conf/mysite path but I tried to replace it with /conf/mysite/settings/cloudconfigs/translation after reading a blog. I have then created Translation Project and Jobs, Set translation rules by adding path of the project components(Page,Text, XF, Title) used in test page, inside the jobs added my pages, but when I start the translation Job its showing "Error Update"  as status for page. For Tags Metadate its showed ready for review and showed accept translation option.I would like to what is missed? should I push conf related changes via code base and then check the flow, or any config or setup missed?
