AEM 6.3.3 | Error while saving using session.save()

[rawvarun]

Hi All,

I'm using Service User Mapper configuration as well as using the corresponding code for the same.

Also, provided the full permission to my system user.

Still i'm getting Access Denied.

javax.jcr.AccessDeniedException: OakAccess0000: Access denied

[VeenaVikraman]

What kind of node are you trying to save ?

[rawvarun]

Veena_07

I have created user via createuser method (i.e. UserManager ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.") ).

then setting user properties.

[VeenaVikraman]

Does that mean even the system user creation is done programmatically here ? If so , did you use createUser method or createSystemUser ?

[rawvarun]

Veena_07,

I have implemented Registration functionality which is Servlet that gets data from form.

Based, on that data i createUser via code taking session via systemuser.

[VeenaVikraman]

Can you provide the code snippet which is throwing the error ? I will try it in my local and let you know if I am also facing the issue , if so will try to figure out a solution. Also please let us know the AEM version

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

Looks like your serviceUser does not have permissions to create users; make sure that the service user has permissions to create and modify nodes below /home/users.

[rawvarun]

Jörg Hoh​,

I have given full permission to my system user:

[Jörg_Hoh]

That's strange. But the only explanation for this exception are insufficient permissions of the service owning that session. Just to eliminate all other reasons, can you temporarily switch to an admin user and try that?

Are you saying yo use login.adminstrative() method.

[smacdonald2008]

Exactly - try that call and you will see it working. It looks like a permission issue as Joerg mentions

[smacdonald2008]

Here is a Persist use case in 6.4 with a video. As you can see, when we submit a new employee - the data is persisted.

You can use similar logic for AEM 6.3.3. Just use Maven Arch 12 for a 6.3 project.
