AEM - How to configure NetCentric AC Tool with AEMCaaS ? by Veena Vikraman

Abstract

It's time for #AEMGyaan. I know it has been a long time since we met. I hope all of you are staying healthy and safe. Wish you a very happy 2022. Let's hope and pray only the best for all of us this year.
If you are as new to AEMCaaS as me, then you might/have struggled at some point to figure out a lot of things. The concern is that there are not a lot of tutorials yet available out there. We have to spend a lot of time searching and stitching together the information to solve our issues.
One such topic is migrating the user permissions. Migrating users and permissions are always a troubling issue for all of us. And the best solution so far for the same is NetCentric AC Tool. You can find a lot of blogs on the same. I am listing a few below.
Perficient has a good set of blog posts that helps you understand all about Netcentric and YAML files.

Hi @kautuk_sahni 

is it possible to apply permissions via ACtool on adobe IMS groups.

Currently we are using AC tool to apply permissions on IMS groups synced from admincosole.

Also we are adding one IMS group as member of another IMS group

is it ok to continue this setup or is there any risk associated with it.

[VeenaVikraman]

@nksree For the IMS Groups, add them as members to your AEM Groups with the right permission. This groups can be created and permissions can be handled using this tool or repoinit.

Thanks
