Hi @Manasi29 

There are two ways to install acs commons. One is to install the acs commons package in each of your aem instances. And the other way is to embed acs commons in your project so that it will be installed on your aem instances whenever you deploy your code. I would recommended you to embed acs to your project.

Below are the steps to be followed for AEMaaCS.

1. Add the below dependency to your all project's pom.xml
   

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
       <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-ui.content</artifactId>
       <version>5.2.0</version>
       <type>zip</type>
       <classifier>min</classifier>
   </dependency>
   
   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
       <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-ui.apps</artifactId>
       <version>5.2.0</version>
       <type>zip</type>
       <classifier>min</classifier> 
   </dependency>

2. Add the below embed properties in your all project's pom.xml.
   

   <embedded>
                       <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
                       <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-ui.apps</artifactId>
                       <type>zip</type>
                       <target>/apps/my-app-packages/application/install</target>
                   </embedded>
                   <embedded>
                       <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
                       <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-ui.content</artifactId>
                       <type>zip</type>
                       <target>/apps/my-app-packages/content/install</target>
                   </embedded>

3. Add the below dependency to your core project's pom.xml
   

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.adobe.acs</groupId>
       <artifactId>acs-aem-commons-bundle</artifactId>
       <version>5.2.0</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>

Hi @Manasi29 ,

The recommended  way for creating system user or user management is repo init. Please go through this article.

https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/repository-initialization.html

Repoinit

For the following cases, it is preferable to take the approach of hand coding explicit content creation repoinit statements in OSGI factory configurations:

• Create/delete/disable service users

• Create/delete groups

• Create/delete users

• Add ACLs

Check https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/deploy...

Can someone help me without the could service also? The package is getting deleted after the code push.

The steps to embed ACS Commons remain the same for both AEM 6.x and AEMaaCS.
