You can create groups and assign policies and users to the groups in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). These policies control the privileges of the users that are part of the group.

After you install the AEM Forms add-on package, the groups mentioned in this article, such as forms-users and forms-power-user, are automatically available for assignment. The following table lists the tasks that a user can perform for AEM Forms on OSGi based on the group assignments:
