Learn how you can use custom permissions to create new custom permission profiles with configurable permissions to restrict access to programs, pipelines and environments for Cloud Managers users.

Introduction

Cloud Manager has a set of pre-defined roles that govern access to various Cloud Manager features:

  • Business Owner
  • Program Manager
  • Deployment Manager
  • Developer

Custom permissions allow users to create new custom permission profiles with configurable permissions to restrict access for Cloud Managers users to programs, pipelines and environments.

TIP
For details on pre-defined roles, see Role-Based Permissions.

Creating and using your own custom permissions requires the following three steps:

This section details these steps. You may find it useful to see the Terms and Configurable Permissions sections as you create your own custom permissions.

First create a new product profile to which you can assign custom permissions.

  1. Log into Cloud Manager at my.cloudmanager.adobe.com

  2. Select the product AEM Managed Services.

  3. Search for and instance with name matching the pattern *-cloud-manager and click to manage users and permissions.

  4. You are redirected to the Products tab of the Admin Console, where you can manage users and permissions for Cloud Manager. In the Admin Console, click New Profile.

  1. Provide the general details about the profile.

    • Product profile name - A descriptive name for the profile
    • Display name - An abbreviated name that is shown in the user interface (options)
    • Description - An informative description of the profile explaining its purpose (optional)
    • Notify users by email - When selected, the system notifies users by email when they are added to or removed from this profile.

  2. Click Save.

The new product profile is saved and is visible in the list of product profiles in the Admin Console.
