Permission for Folder profiles in XML Documentation

Question

Hi,
 
we are trying to provide XML documentation permission to a different user other than admin.
 
As per the document it says as below (https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/xml-documentation-solution/3-8-6/XML-Documentation-for-Adobe-Experience-Manager_Installation-Configuration-Guide_EN.pdf)
To give a user permission to use the XML Documentation solution’s all capabilities and generate output in a specific format, you can add that user to the Publishers group created by XML Documentation solution. This ensures that the user has full access to all XML Documentation solution publishing functionalities.
 
After adding the "publishers", the user is able to edit most of the functionalities, but below are a few functionalities which are not working as expected:

Creating/Edit Folder Profiles (Path: Tools --> XML Documentation --> Folder Profiles)
Add/Edit Conditions, Snippets and Glossary in XML Editor tool (http://localhost:4502/libs/fmdita/clientlibs/xmleditor/page.html).

I have verified that the user have folder profiles path access (Read & Write)
 
For testing purposes, I have tried different groups like Authors, Reviewers. also tried providing permissions to the entire /content and tried full permissions at root "/", but no luck.
 
The user is able to add/edit above functionalities only if he is in administrative group. Could you please let us know if we are missing anything from our end to get the above functionalities work for a non-admin user?
 
Thanks,
sudheer

Hi @dvnsudheer ,

Providing edit rights on the folder profiles to a non-admin user - an administrator has to add those users to the Folder Profile as admin user. To do so:

Login as administrator
Browse to the folder profile (Tools > XML Documentation > Folder Profiles > Open the profile you are validating)
Click "Edit" on the General tab, where you will notice "Admin Users" field, you can add the publisher user you mentioned and save the change
Now, login as the publisher user and try to edit the Folder Profile - you should be able to do this now

This is also documented in the section "Create and configure a folder-level profile" of Installation and Configuration Guide (page 63, refer step #8)

For editing the snippets in web editor - what is the use case where Publisher has to edit the Snippets? (snippets are meant for authors to author the content) - if that is the intent the Publisher should really be assigned to Authors group.

I hope this answers your queries.
