AEM User Tasks aem-user-tasks

In this optional part of the onboarding journey, you learn how AEM users can access AEM as a Cloud Service to author content.

The Story So Far story-so-far

You have come a long way in your onboarding journey! Congratulations! The system administrator has completed the onboarding journey by setting up the necessary cloud resources and granting access in the document Assigning AEM Product Profiles.

At this point, your AEM users can start creating content. In this sense, your onboarding is complete and now it is time to use your new AEM as a Cloud Service system, which this document illustrates.

Audience audience

This document is written from the perspective of the AEM user.

The system administrator can also perform these same tasks, but generally these roles are held by different users.

Objective objective

This document is a supplement to the onboarding process to demonstrate the basic tasks of an AEM user once the system administrator has onboarded all the users and created the necessary cloud resources as described up to this point of the onboarding journey.

After reading you should understand how to:

  • Access Cloud Manager.
  • Sign into an AEM as a Cloud Service instance.

Prerequisites prerequisites

Before you begin the tasks described in this document as an AEM user, ensure that your system administrator has completed all the step in this onboarding journey. This means that:

  • Your system administrator has assigned users to the AEM Users or AEM Administrators product profiles.
  • Cloud resources have been set up.
