How to move group permission from one environment to other environment in AEMaaCS

I have created around 15 groups and added permissions to the Dev environment in AEM(AEMaaCS). Now I want to move them to the production and staging environments. Can I create a package of this filter /libs/cq/core/content/nav/tools/security and use it in another environment?

Can anyone tell me how to move group permissions from one environment to another in AEMaaCS?

@mario248 you can make use of ACL packager from acs commons.

Hope this helps,

    I guess ACL packager is not compatible on AEMaaCS. it supports on AEM onprem and AMS.

          Rihit - Netcentric seems interesting. I hope this works in AEMaaCS. This https://github.com/Netcentric/accesscontroltool does not have much detailed information and I could not find much details on google as well. Can you share more reference and article on how to use netcentric access control tool?

              Hello @mario248 

               

              Repo init scripts might be a good option to explore. Reference: 

              One Tool to Configure Them All: Sling RepoInit / Blogs / Perficient

               

              With Sling Repoint, we have a consolidated grammar to:

              • Create groups
              • Assign permissions
              • Create paths
              • Set properties
              • Assign group membership
              • Create OSGi configurations
              • Create service users

              It won't migrate the current Dev to all other environments. But, if set once as OSGi configs, can be deployed across all environments.

               

              These scripts can also be used to set permissions in the immutable areas of AEM as a Cloud Service.

               

              The Netcentric ACL tool or AEM packages will not allow to set permissions in immutable areas.

                Thanks for the detailed information. It helps me to understand the limitation of AC tool.
