Configuring access to AEM as a Cloud Service configuring-access-to-aem-as-a-cloud-service
AEM as a Cloud Service is the cloud-native way of leveraging the AEM applications, and as such, leverages ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS (Identity Management System) to facilitate the log in of its users, both administrators and regular users, to AEM Author service.
Learn how ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS users, groups and product profiles are used in concert with AEM groups and permissions to provide fine-grained access to AEM Author service.
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS users
Users requiring access to AEM Author service are managed as in . Learn about what ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS users are, and how they are accessed and managed in Admin Console.

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS user groups
Users accessing AEM Author service should be organized into logical groups using in . ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS user groups do not provide direct permissions or access to AEM (this is the job of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS product profiles), however, they are a great way to define logical groupings of users that can in turn be translated to specific levels of access in AEM Author service, using AEM groups and permissions.
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS product profiles
, managed in , are the mechanic that provides ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ IMS users access to log in to AEM Author service with a base level of access.
- The AEM Users product profile affords users read-only access to AEM via membership in AEM’s Contributors group.
- The AEM Administrators product profile affords users full, administrative access to AEM.
