User Permission ACL
Hi team,
Under apps folder, we have many folders like clientslibs,core,settings and many other default folders.
We have created a custom folder called "Custom" under apps.
There is a user who should have READ permission only on Custom Folder and NOT for any other folders under /apps.
I know using useradmin, I can uncheck all other check boxes and tick only Custom folder.
But is there any other smart way to do it using ACE/Access Control List /Permission tabs?

Hi @arvindpandey ,
You can add it on the permissions dashboard via UI, I would suggest deny everything for the parent path and then selectively allow the paths which you want the user to have permission to.
deny - jcr:all /apps & then jcr:read for /app/custom
Or you can Use Netcentric tool to keep the permissions via code i.e. yaml files. Check https://medium.com/@saumyajain3007/configuring-netcentric-ac-tool-in-aemaacs-e13f5590e497 for more info
Hi @anupampat
Thanks for your kind reply. Using what you suggested, /apps node is not checked. I can write ACE for each and every child folders as deny and allow only for Custom BUT is there any better way like using regular expression etc.
Our goal is to achieve as below:
Hi @arvindpandey ,
While adding the ACE to the user or group you can see the restrictions section, where you can add the read permissions for the particular folder itself and no need to add ACE for all the other nodes.
Select rep:glob and add restriction value as "/custom*"
Select rep:glob and add restriction value as "/custom*".
For more such usage refer to the URL below.
