Maximum number of users in AEM

Hello!

What is the maximum number of users that we can have inside AEM without affecting performance ?  What would be the solution if we have copious quantities of users to be imported into AEM.  What will be the best solution to handle this ?

 

Regards

Hi Harsh,

   There is no limit technically. In general if you are using UGC then user base is large. make sure latest soca feature pack is installed. 

Thanks,

There is no hard Limit as such.

Also please have a look at this forum post:- http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums/en/experience-manager-forum/adobe-experience-manager.topic.html/forum__ixpv-how_many_application.html

Question: We are planning to have a CQ publisher around 65k users & around thousand groups. Will there be any performance issues & do we have any limit on number of users you can have in publisher.

Answer: There is no restriction as such. But if you have your users already outside, you can also have your own external login module for authentication and authorization. You will, however, want to ensure you are using AEM 6.0 or higher and Oak. With Jackrabbit/CRX 2, such scale was possible, but you do need to do some extra configuration if you have groups with thousands of members. Your post didnt call this out specifically, but if you have tens of thousands of users, odds are you have some big groups 

I hope this will help you.

There are many environmental factors to consider for this question such as the server running AEM, the RAM, etc. See this artilce:
