Instance-Level Display Settings Management in AEM: Replacing Browser CookiesInvestigating

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: This idea proposes enhancing Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) by shifting the storage of display settings within Sites and DAM sections from browser cookies to an instance-level configuration. By managing display preferences (such as UI layouts or viewing modes) directly within the AEM instance, users can enjoy a consistent experience across devices and browsers without relying on client-side storage. This approach improves usability, eliminates cookie dependency, enhances security, and ensures compliance with stricter data privacy regulations. Use-case: Use Case: Unified Display Settings for Multi-Device Content Editors Scenario:A content author frequently switches between a desktop computer at work and a laptop at home to edit content in AEM. Currently, their preferred display settings—such as column view—are stored in browser cookies. This leads to an inconsistent user experience, as their preferences need to be manually reconfigured on each browser and device. Solution with Instance-Level Settings:By saving display preferences at the AEM instance level, the author’s settings are automatically applied regardless of the browser or device they use. The system retrieves their settings directly from the instance during login, ensuring a seamless and personalized experience. Benefits: Consistency: The same display settings persist across all devices and browsers. Efficiency: Eliminates the need for users to reset or reconfigure preferences. Privacy & Compliance: Reduces reliance on cookies, aligning with stricter privacy laws like GDPR. Usability: Provides a more polished and user-friendly experience for content authors and administrators. Current/Experienced Behavior: In AEM, display settings for users are typically managed on a per-browser basis using cookies or local storage. This cookie-based approach is functional but lacks flexibility and scalability for modern multi-device workflows and collaborative environments, making a server-side, instance-level storage mechanism a desirable enhancement. Improved/Expected Behavior: The expected behavior involves transitioning from a browser-dependent model to an instance-level storage model for display settings. This approach ensures a consistent, user-friendly experience across devices, browsers, and shared environments. Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEM as a Cloud service (All environments), Release: 2024.11.18598.20241113T125352Z Customer-name/Organization name: BORUSSIA DORTMUND GMBH AND CO Screenshot (if applicable):   Code package (if applicable):  

New Feature Idea: User Profile Templates for Simplified User OnboardingNew

Current Behavior/Problem: Currently, onboarding new users in Workfront requires manually configuring individual settings for each user. While copying users can help, it doesn't provide a standardized, reusable approach for common user types, leading to potential inconsistencies and errors. Description/Proposed Solution: Introduce User Profile Templates. These templates would allow administrators to pre-define and save configurations for common user types. Functionality: Key elements of this feature would include...Template Creation - Administrators can create named templates, defining settings for any profile features like access level, layout template, team(s), group(s), job role(s), timesheet profile, and other relevant profile attributesTemplate Application - During user creation, administrators can select a template to pre-populate the user's profile.Customization - After applying a template, administrators retain the ability to customize individual user settings to accommodate unique requirements.Template Management - Ability to manage, update, and retire templates as organizational needs evolve.Benefits/Importance:Simplified Onboarding - Significantly reduces the time and effort required to onboard new users, especially for common roles.Increased Consistency - Ensures that users in similar roles are configured consistently, reducing errors and improving security.Reduced Administrative Overhead - Streamlines user management, freeing up administrator time for other tasks.Improved Scalability - Facilitates faster user provisioning, supporting organizational growth and change.
