Assets report view recursively opens left nav when logged in as non-admin user

Issue

When viewing assets reports [1], instead of opening a report the UI either returns 404 error or recursively opens the left navigation again within the right panel.

Environment

AEM 6.1

Cause

This issue is a security/ UI issue that is fixed in AEM 6.2.

Resolution

  1. Go to http://host:port/crx/de/index.jsp, and log in as admin user.

  2. Use the left tree to browse to the paths, specified in the table below.

  3. Edit the access controls to match the table through the lower-right Access Control panel tab.

    To make asset reports work, use the following ACLs:

    /libs/dam allow jcr:read, rep:write
    /libs/cq/core/content/nav/tools/assets allow jcr:read
