Hello @varaande 

There are few options to set up ACLs across various environments:

Repo-init

• Recommended approach especially for AEMaaCS environments. Helps set ACLs in immutable areas like /libs
• https://www.nextrow.com/blog/adobe-experience-manager/getting-started-with-apache-sling-repo-init 
• Should be used in initial phases of project itself to set up groups and ACLs

Netcentric ACL tool

• Uses YAML files to create Groups and ACLs. Widely used now
• Can be used with both AMS and AEMaaCS
• Should be used in initial phases of project itself to set up groups and ACLs
• https://github.com/Netcentric/accesscontroltool

ACS commons ACL packager tool:

• https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/packagers/acl-packager/index.ht...

AEM packages (Least preferred)

• https://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/tutorials/migrate-users-and-groups-with-acl-permissions-in-aem/

Hello @varaande 

Repo-init and Netcentric ACL tool work both for AEMaaCS and on-premise as well
