AEMaaCS - ACS AEM Commons, Netcentric Accesscontroltool and AEM Groovy Console by Arun Patidar

Abstract

What is ACS AEM Commons, Netcentric Accesscontroltool and AEM Groovy Console?

ACS AEM Commons
A way to bootstrap AEM projects with common functionality, a set of reusable components, and an AEM development toolkit.


Access Control Tool for Adobe Experience Manager
The Access Control Tool for Adobe Experience Manager (AC Tool) simplifies the specification and deployment of complex Access Control Lists in AEM. Instead of existing solutions that build e.g. a content package with actual ACL nodes you can write simple configuration files and deploy them with your content packages. See Comparison to other approches for a comprehensive overview.



AEM Groovy Console
The AEM Groovy Console provides an interface for running Groovy scripts in Adobe Experience Manager. Scripts can be created to manipulate content in the JCR, call OSGi services, or execute arbitrary code using the AEM, Sling, or JCR APIs. After installing the package in AEM (instructions below), see the console page for documentation on the available bindings and methods. Sample scripts are included in the package for reference.



How to Deploy on AEM as a cloud service
This can be deploy using embedded packages in all module's pom.xml

Access Control Tool for Adobe Experience Manager is interesting - Can you elaborate more on  point 3 of

Create a permissions package in the source control

Create a permissions package in source control/maven and add the config file(s) to it along with the install hook to install the rules during package installation.

Hi,

When you add the ACL and wants to installhook, which is basically create the user/permission/aet permission during build and send back the results and you can get error in error.log
