I am using AEM 6.5 , and I need to set permissions for different user groups to only access certain folders in DAM depending upon some rules. I have been trying to find the right example where this has been implemented but was not able to find it. Can you please point me in the right direction.

 

I want to get user groups and and users in Java through JCR and their permissions and add/remove permissions through Java only.

@Anmol_Bhardwaj As you want to achieve it through the java code then you can user the userManager API to get the user and the groups and later you can add the permissions.

UserManager userManager = resolver.adaptTo(UserManager.class);

From userManager get the groups.

Group Group1 = (Group) userManager.getAuthorizable(CONTENTAUTHOR);

 Thank You.

Thanks @kchaurasiya. After getting the user groups, how do I edit permissions?

@Anmol_Bhardwaj : I think you can do this through the ACL. You can apply the ACL permission on the user and group. Thanks
