In this part of the onboarding journey, you learn how to grant you team access to AEM using AEM product profiles.
Objective objective
After you have read the previous document in this onboarding journey, Create Environments, and have your cloud resources configured, grant your team access to AEM itself using AEM product profiles. As the system administrator, you do this by assigning AEM product profiles.
After reading this document, you should understand:
- What AEM product profiles are.
- How to add team members to AEM User product profile.
- How to add team members to AEM Administrators product profile.
AEM Product Profiles aem-product-profiles

End of the Journey? the-end
Congratulations! The users that you assigned to AEM as a Cloud Service product profiles are now ready to access the AEM authoring environment and start creating content with AEM as a Cloud Service. Likewise, developers can now access Cloud Manager to use git to store custom application code and deploy it. In this sense, your onboarding journey is complete and your users can now use AEMaaCS.
However if you would like to better understand how authors and developers use the system, you can continue on with two optional parts of this onboarding journey:
- Developer and Deployment Manager Tasks - Where you learn how developers access git to store their custom code and deploy it using Cloud Manager pipelines.
