Not able to Add OOTB groups to newly created groups v...

[khamat_bn]

We have written a repoinit script to add OOTB groups to custom groups but getting the error in script while deploying to AEM cloud.(working fine in local) 

That is because of script is running earlier than the OOTB group creation. Its failing while building image in cloud. 

So we want to add OOTB groups to custom groups automatically instead of manually. 

Is there any way instead of manual work ?

Below are logs for build image execution in AEM cloud pipeline.

you can write this logic in your bundle as well, on bundle activator class.

As soon s the bundle is activated, it will add a custom group to the contributor group.

[Jaideep_Brar · Accepted solution]

Repoint does initialize before any content[1] is loaded to the repo. So, you will have to find an alternate approach to add the OOTB group to the custom group.

One approach I could think of is to do it via custom code when your code initializes for the first time after AEM restart

So as to add OOTB groups to newly created groups via repoinit script follow below steps:

1. Create OOTB group via repoinit script

2. ADD  OOTB group to newly created custom group

3. Once AEM loads, OOTB groups permission will be automatically taken care off.

scripts=[
        "
        create group contributor

        create group new-custom-group
        add new-custom-group to group contributor
        "
]
