Unable to change asset Review Status in AEMaaCS with jcr:all permissions

Last update: Thu Jun 26 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

In ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), having jcr:all permissions doesn’t allow you change the Review Status of assets. This happens because AEM enforces additional group-level permissions that jcr:all alone doesn’t cover. Fix this by updating your group membership and access configurations.

Description description

Environment

  • Product: ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) – Assets
  • Environment: Development

Issue/Symptoms

  • You have jcr:all permissions but can’t edit the Review Status property.
  • The Review Status field appears disabled.

Resolution resolution

To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Add the affected user group to the dam-users group. This grants the required permissions to edit asset metadata, including the Review Status field.
  2. Limit read and write access for the dam-users group to specific /content/dam directories by applying folder-level restrictions and overriding inherited permissions using AEM’s permission tools.
  3. Confirm that your group can edit the Review Status field while keeping access restricted to other /content/dam folders.
