Following properties of a page are created automatically and protected.

AEM will not allow us to edit this information. It is retrieved from the Session object,

Hello,

This property is defined in the mix:created node and should automatically be created when you create a page either manually or programmatically. Be sure to use the PageManager to create the page in your code.

We're using the pageManager object to create the page. After the page is created the jcr:createdBy property is taken from the user ID available in the session object which is taken from the slingRequest object.

Now is there any possibility to update/override this property programatically?

Hi @deepti_v_jain 

Yes, you can set the jcr:createdBy property programmatically when creating a page in AEM. To do this:

  1. Retrieve the JCR node of the page using PageManager or Page API.
  2. Set the jcr:createdBy property to the desired value (e.g., "admin").
  3. Save the session to persist the changes.

This allows you to specify who created the page when it's being created programmatically.
