Cloud Manager cloud-manager
Cloud Manager is an essential component of AEM as a Cloud Service and serves as the single entry point for your team. It supports customers with enterprise development setups with its purpose-built CI/CD pipelines, which are equipped to ensure thorough testing and highest code quality to deliver exceptional experiences. Cloud Manager provides everything required to get started in a self-service manner including the ability to create your cloud resources and environments.
Typically a team member assigned to the Business Owner product profile is responsible for adding your cloud resources such as programs and environments. This individual understands the business needs and who completes the initial Cloud Manager setup.
For the purposes of this onboarding journey, you, as the system administrator, already assigned yourself to the Business Owner product profile and can set up the cloud resources. Depending on actual project requirements, the business owners may or may not be the same as the system administrator.
Access Cloud Manager as System Administrator and Business Owner access-sysadmin-bo
Before the team members that you assigned to the Business Owner role can access cloud manager and begin creating cloud resources, the system administrator must be assigned the Business Owner role. They must also sign into Cloud Manager as you did in the previous step in this onboarding journey.

Ensure that you, as system administrator, have the Business Owner role assigned.
- Return to the previous step in this journey, Assign Team Members to Cloud Manager Product Profiles, for more information about assigning the Business Owner role to the system administrator.
