Hi guys, in AEM 6.4 seems like some permission changed, so I have to be an administrator to see all the structure on crxde, However, I need to provide those privileges to a user without assign him as admin.

any help, please.

Thank you.

Non-administrators using CRX DE Lite is not a supported use case. So it would be better if you found a way that your users who are not admins do not have to access CRX DE Lite at all.

Hi,

Please follow below:

  1. create a group say testGroup in aem. 
  2. set below permission for 'testGroup' , don't add other group in this group, set permission manually

  1. add test user user in this group.

CRXDE view, with above changes

I'm seeing similar issues with my 6.4 implementation.  I created a local AEM test user and put that user into the content author's group.  Then validated that the test user was granted read access via the content author group.

However when logged in as that user the CRX console does not show the folders in which the user has read access to:

There is ONE exception.  If I add permissions to "home" withing user admin, that then shows up under CRX/DE but no other folders with the same permissions do.

The only solution I have found is that in order to access crx/de a user must be in the Administrators group, which is not a good solution for content admin access.

Hi,

Not needed to add any special/extra permission. User might not have proper permission.

Try to give him read permission to all the folders like /apps/, /libs/, /etc/, /var/, /tmp/ etc.

On /crx/de console, the nodes are listed based on user's permissions.

You'd need to navigate to localhost:4502/useradmin > Login with admin account > Search the user/group whose permissions you'd like to modify > Double click on that user once it is listed in the search list on left panel > Click on Permissions tab > Check/uncheck whatever permissions you want that user/group should have.

Is this what you're looking for?

Yes, I would like to know which permission I must add to my user to allow read and modify the rest of the folders

He already has read/write permission under /content/myproject/

Hence, I would say for the new AEM version we need to add another special permission.

Could you elaborate your use case?

The 'title' of question made me think that you want to know how to get access on /crx/de console. Is this correct?

You could navigate to '/useradmin' and assign appropriate "read", "write" permissions to users/groups.
