How to involve participent step while User created in Publish instance.

[moalam]

Hello All,

               I have a use case, where I am looking for ideas from the communities.

Use Case:  We are creating the end user in the publish instance (/home/users/*), Before activating the user, We need to add a participant workflow(Approval step) in the author. I tried reverse sling content distribution but it didn't work with user creation. 

Please advise, If any other solution.

Regards

Mohammed

Hi @moalam 

You can create a package of user from publish and install it on Author. It can be done using two of the following ways:

1. If you need to export user along with permission, you can follow this blog https://aem4beginner.blogspot.com/migrate-users-and-groups-with-acl.  It uses classic UI tools to create user package along with all ACLs. 

2. But if you only need to export user from publish, you can get user path in repository from http://localhost:4503/useradmin, check user path as shown below and create package for same path:

You will have to make sure that parent path exists on Author instance before you install the package.

Thanks,
