Grant Access to the Front-End Developer grant-fed-access
Onboard the front-end developers into Cloud Manager so they have access to your AEM site git repository and pipeline.
The Story So Far story-so-far
In the previous document of the AEM Quick Site Creation journey, Set Up Your Pipeline, you learned how to create a front-end pipeline to manage the customization of your site’s theme, and you should now:
- Understand what a front-end pipeline is.
- Know how to set up a front-end pipeline in Cloud Manager.
You now need to grant your front-end developer access to Cloud Manager through the onboarding process so the front-end developer can access the AEM git repository and the pipeline you have created.
Objective objective
The process of granting access to Cloud Manager and assigning user roles to your users is called onboarding. This document will give an overview of the most important steps for onboarding a front-end developer and after reading you will know:
- How to add a front-end developer as a user.
- How to grant the required roles to the front-end developer.
