Add Users and Roles

Many features in Cloud Manager require specific permissions to use. For example, only certain users are allowed to set the key performance indicators (KPIs) for a program. These permissions are logically grouped into roles.

Cloud Manager currently defines four roles for users which govern the availability of specific features:

• Business Owner
• Program Manager
• Deployment Manager
• Developer

Role Definitions

This table summarizes the roles.

Using Admin Console to Create a Profile

Cloud Manager roles are managed from the Admin Console. Specific role memberships are provided by adding the user to a Cloud Manager product profile.

The Admin Console is a central location for managing your Adobe entitlements across your entire organization. To learn more about the Adobe Admin Console, see the documentation for Admin Console.

In order to provide the appropriate role-based permissions to Cloud Manager users, an administrator in the customer’s organization must create new product profiles under the AEM Managed Services product context corresponding to each of the four Cloud Manager roles:

• Business Owner
• Deployment Manager
• Developer
• Program Manager

You can create or add users/groups to these product profiles with the Admin Console.

1. Log in to the Admin Console at https://adminconsole.adobe.com.

2. Click on the Overview tab, click on the product you want to modify on the Products and services card. If it is not listed there, use the Products tab to locate the product and click it.

   

3. On the Products tab, click the environment for which you want to add users/groups to product profiles.

   

4. On the Product Profile tab of the product, click New Profile to add a new profile.

   

5. Provide the information to set up a new role for Cloud Manager.

   • Profile Name - The Profile Name can be anything, although to avoid confusion it is recommended to use the values in the Recommended Profile Name column.
   • Display Name - The Display Name must be the technical value defined by Cloud Manager (see the following table).
   • Permission Group - You may choose a permission group for the profile (not always available).

   

   Role	Display Name (Required)	Recommended Profile Name
   Business Owner	CM_BUSINESS_OWNER_ROLE_PROFILE	Cloud Manager - Business Owner Role
   Deployment Manager	CM_DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER_ROLE_PROFILE	Cloud Manager - Deployment Manager Role
   Developer	CM_DEVELOPER_ROLE_PROFILE	Cloud Manager - Developer Role
   Program Manager	CM_PROGRAM_MANAGER_ROLE_PROFILE	Cloud Manager - Program Manager Role

6. Click Done to save the new profile.

Assign Profiles to Users or User Groups

Once you have created product profiles, you can assign users or user groups to them.

1. Log in to the Admin Console at https://adminconsole.adobe.com.

2. In the Admin Console, choose the Users tab.

   

3. Click on Users in the left navigation panel and then click on a user to modify it.

4. Click on the ellipsis button in the Products section and select Edit.

   

5. In the Edit products and user groups dialog, click the plus button and select the profiles to assign to the user.

   • If the user already is assigned to the roles, the plus button will be an edit button (a pencil), but works the same way.

   

6. Click Save to save the profiles to the user.

Repeat the same steps to assign profiles to user groups, but select User Groups from the left navigation panel on the Users tab. Click on a user group and select the Assigned Product Profiles tab and click Assign Product Profile to assign profiles.
