Retrieving Content Credentials in AEM Cloud Service: Admin View Guide

Avatar

Level 1
How can we retrieve or access content credentials in AEM as a Cloud Service, particularly within the Admin view? I understand that there is a feature to retrieve credentials in the Asset view— is there a way to enable or utilize this feature within the Admin interface?

Hi @PullaraoCh1 ,

Content Credentials in Admin View are NOT currently available - this feature is only in Assets View.

Current Status:

Content Credentials can be viewed by going to Assets View UI, clicking Assets from the left pane, navigating to a folder, selecting the asset, clicking Details and selecting the Cr pin from the rightmost pane

Why Admin View doesn't have it:

The Content Credentials (CAI) integration is a newer feature designed for the simplified Assets View interface. The Admin view uses the traditional AEM Assets UI which hasn't been updated with this capability yet.

Your Options:

Switch to Assets View

Toggle between views using the view switcher in AEM Assets

Assets View is designed for simpler, content-focused workflows

All users with appropriate permissions can access Assets View

Access via Asset Properties (Limited)

In Admin view, you can see basic metadata

But the full Content Credentials panel with CAI data is Assets View only

Wait for Adobe to add it

Adobe may extend this to Admin view in future releases

No official timeline announced

To enable Assets View access:

Users need to be assigned the "Assets View Users" product profile in Adobe Admin Console

Information on accessing Assets View and its simplifications over Admin view is available in the Assets View introduction documentation Perficient Blogs

Use Assets View for Content Credentials - Admin view doesn't support it yet.Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check cited sources.

@HrishikeshKagne Is there any possibility for AEM to store content credentials within asset metadata fields?

Hi @PullaraoCh1 ,

Yes, there is a possibility, but with important caveats:
Current Reality:-Content Credentials (CAI - Content Authenticity Initiative) data is technically stored as metadata embedded within the asset file itself, not as traditional AEM metadata properties. It follows the C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard.
Can you access it as regular metadata fields?
Not directly in the traditional sense:

Content Credentials are embedded in the binary file (similar to EXIF data)
They're not exposed as standard JCR properties in AEM's metadata schema
You cannot currently map them to custom metadata fields in the Admin view

Possible Workarounds:-
Custom Metadata Extraction

Develop a custom workflow/service to extract C2PA data from assets
Parse the credential information and write it to custom metadata fields
This would require custom development using C2PA libraries

Asset Compute Worker
Create a custom Asset Compute worker to process and extract credential data
Store extracted values in AEM metadata properties


API Access
Use AEM Assets APIs to programmatically retrieve embedded credentials
Surface this data in custom UI components

While Content Credentials ARE stored within assets, AEM doesn't currently expose them as editable/viewable metadata fields in the traditional metadata schema. You'd need custom development to bridge this gap if you want them accessible like regular metadata properties.

Hello @PullaraoCh1 

Today, Content Credentials are only surfaced in the modern Assets view UI in AEMaaCS

The classic Admin view does not have an OOTB Content Credentials badge or details panel.
