AEM6.2 and later versions.

The clientlibs-service user might be missing or missing permissions.

To get rid of the AccessDeniedException and fix the issue then do the following:

Go to http://host:port/crx/de/index.jsp web app and log in as admin.

Browse to the folders below and validate that clientlibs-service user has these permissions:

/apps Allow jcr:read
/libs Allow jcr:read
/etc Allow jcr:read
/var/clientlibs Allow jcr:read, rep:write

To view permissions, browse to the node you want to view or modify permissions for then on the bottom right panel of CRXDE, click on the Access Control tab.

If the clientlibs-service user itself is missing then go to a working AEM instance and create a package of this path /home/users/system/clientlibs-service. Then install that to your broken instance.
