Unfortunately there is no correct answer here as it seems the route I was attempting to take and the specific outcomes I needed are not possible. 

If I understand you correctly, this would only solve the issue temporarily for a selected span of time, and not a permanent solution moving forward when authors may need to move pages at any given date. Part of the "move" operation also includes the crx:replicate privilege that must exist as part of...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am hoping for a solution that does not require additional assistance from an admin or another user. While this is a good suggestion, we have almost 40 authors and over 3500 pages, so not too feasible for our situation. I wasn't sure if there was some Access Control E...

I've created a situation where authors are running into permission issues when trying to move pages under certain conditions. To manage access, I set up group ACLs that limit author permissions to specific content paths, allowing them to only edit, publish, and perform similar actions within their d...

There seemed to be some confusion in the responses below to what data I was actually trying to find. After getting on a call and speaking with AMS, they informed me that the individual data points/dimensions for each individual asset's cropping via Smart Crop, is not viewable in the CRXDE. I was inf...

"A new node would be created under the asset with name identical to the edited smart crop" Are you referring to the AEM side or DM side? I see no new nodes created anywhere on the AEM side, via CRXDE, when editing or changing an asset's Smart Crop.  If you are referring the the DM side, is the smart...

Hi sorry if my question is confusing. I understand how image profiles and smart crop is applied to folders. What I am curious about is the individual data for each asset's crops. I may have a 100 different images inside a folder that has Smart Crop applied. But each of those images can have differen...

Hi, you are speaking of the image profile it sounds like.  I am curious of the actual smart crop data for each individual asset, when you save an asset's Smart Crop. Each asset within a folder that has an image profile and Smart Crop enabled, would have different smart crop data for each individual ...

I have been told that the data for each individual asset's Smart Crop is stored on the AEM side. Where is this data stored exactly? I cannot seem to find any type of smart crop data within an asset's metadata, nor anywhere else even while searching via the CRXDE. 

I am trying to create a custom component that extends the smart cropping feature. I have found one workout around, but was hoping for a more direct measure.    I fear you are correct, but will wait a little while for anyone else to respond that may know something additional.
