why don't you write a get method to export attribute value in Sling Model to get the value in HTL? e.g. private mycustomparam; request.setAttribute("mycustomparam", value); mycustomparam = value; public String getMycustomparam(){ return mycustomparam; }

So do you mean we can give permission to end users only through CUG.? - Yes and ACL are only for author instance? - Not completely true but for end user, we use CUG Also one question related to this can we create assets and sites on publisher? Technically yes but use Author to create site and assets and replicate/publish/activate to publish instance. Publish should not be use because it is serving end users and it may have immediate consequences if you do make changes on publish.

Hi, CUG groups are for the end user who are accessing the publishers. You should not merge both. Keep your author rights separated from end user rights.
