Create New User in AEM

In this post, I will explain how to create new Users in AEM.

For creating the AEM User with specific permissions we have to follow some steps as I will explain below:

Open User console from the main admin console: http://localhost:4502/useradmin


Create a new user by click on Edit by selecting create >> create a user:


Now, The new editable widget will open:


Enter the Login ID, First Name, Last Name, Password, Confirm Password whatever you want.
Like, I will create the user with the name content-author.
Search the ID from the user list and click on that.
On the right-hand side of the user list, the user details screen will appear.
click the permission tab from the user details screen.

Select the permissions which we want to give the content-author.

If we want to give the permissions to content-author of read, modify, create, and delete then we have to select only these same.


Now, content-author can read, modify, create, and delete under apps, content, etc, home, libs, system, temp, and var directory.
But, If you want to give permission to content-author only for content modify, create and delete then you have to tick only on content. Like this:


Click Create.
Now, login with the new user and you will see that this user can only those things which you gave them permission to this user.
