Learn how you can use custom permissions to create 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 which govern access to various Cloud Manager features:

  • Business Owner
  • Program Manager
  • Deployment Manager
  • Developer

Custom permissions let users create 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 AEM as a Cloud Service Team and Product Profiles.

Using Custom Permissions

To create and use your own custom permissions, it requires 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.

Create a New Product Profile

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

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

  2. On the Cloud Manager landing page, select the Manage Access button.

Manage Access button

  1. 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, select the New Profile button.

  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 UI (options)
    • Description - An informative description of the profile explaining its purpose (optional)
    • Notify users by email - Users receive an email notification when they are added to or removed from this profile.

  2. Select Save when complete.

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

Assign Custom Permissions to Profile

    • The assigned permission items are in the right column labeled Included Permission Items.

    Edit permission items

  5. Select the plus (+) icon next to the permission item so you can add it to the column Included Permission Items.

    • Select the i icon next to a permission item if you want to learn more about it.

  6. Select the Add all button at the top of the Available Permissions column so you can add all permissions.

  7. Select Save when you are finished defining the permission items for your new product profile.

Your new product profile is now saved with its custom permissions.

Assign Users to the Custom Permissions

You can now assign users to the new product profile you created with custom permissions.

  1. In the Admin Console, select the name of the new product profile to which you assigned custom permissions.

  2. In the window that opens, select the Users tab.
