User permissions

The connector operates using the system user workfront-service. This is uninstalled when uninstalling the connector.

NOTE

If you are using connecter version 2.0.3 and added the group workfront-aem-connector-group, this needs to be removed as well by going to Tools > Security > Groups.

NOTE

If you are using Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service, you can change this by looking into your project and locating the file com.day.cq.commons.impl.ExternalizerImpl.xml inside ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/mysite/config.
