User groups created by AEM Guides id181TF0K0MHT
AEM Guides provides three out-of-the-box groups to manage different tasks in a DITA project. These groups are: Authors, Reviewers, and Publishers. Depending upon the group a user is associated with, they are allowed to perform specific tasks. For example, publishing task can be performed only by a publisher, but not by an author or a reviewer. Similarly, an author can create a new topic, and a reviewer can only review a topic.
The following table lists various tasks and the groups that can perform those tasks:
Additional notes on user groups
The following list contains some recommendations and points related to user groups and corresponding permissions:
-
If you want a user to start the translation or review workflow, ensure that the user is a member of the Publishers and projects-administrators group.
-
Users must have the read, create, delete, and modify permissions available on the source and target language folders that they need to work on.
-
If you create a project, you are the owner of the project with Publishers permissions. For other users in a project to be able to see their team members, create tasks, or create workflows, they must have read access on
/home/usersand/home/groupsnodes. One way of giving read access on/home/usersand/home/groupsnodes is by giving read access to theprojects-usersgroup. -
Reviewers can access and add review comments on a topic under review from the Project console or from inbox notification link. Also, this access is only available till the time the review task is open.
-
By default, Publishers are granted access and permissions on the following folders in DAM:
-
/var/dxml–> Read and Write -
/content/dam/fmdita-outputs–> Read and Write -
/content/output/sites–> Read and Write
You must give explicit read and write permissions to your publisher if you are using any other location apart from the default publishing locations mentioned above.
-
-
All users under Authors, Reviewers, and Publishers groups have read access on all content in DAM.
-
Folder-level permissions must be assigned to users via the user administration page.
-
If you want your users to be able to perform search operations on DAM, then make your users a member of the dam-users group.
-
If you want to give admin rights to any user, you can do so by giving them access through AEM standard groups like administrators, projects-administrators, or OSGI configuration (Felix console).
-
To give a user rights to change a document state, make sure that you add the user in the state transition section of the document state profile.
