Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is the web content management system used at NKU.  All web editors on campus use AEM to create and manage their websites.  This software utilizes drag-and-drop functionality, meaning that no coding is needed to manage a website.

All web editors at NKU must have a legitimate business need to edit their department/office website.  They must be trained in both Adobe AEM and web accessibility before receiving access.

The process to become a web editor at NKU is as follows:

• The manager/supervisor of the user that needs access must complete an IT Service Request indicating which websites to grant access to
  • If a user requests their own access, IT will follow up to obtain manager/supervisor permission before continuing the process   
• The user must complete the following trainings:
  • AEM Basics
    • Users can register for an instructor-led training using the NKU Training Registration System
  • Accessibility Training in AEM
    • Users can register for an instructor-led training using the NKU Training Registration System, or enroll in a self-paced online course through Canvas.
• After the user completes both training sessions, IT will grant access to edit the approved website(s)   

Users can access support documentation online at the Web Editing Guide website.  You can view the AEM User Guide, read important information, contact IT Training with questions/concerns, and register for training.

Note: To access AEM while off campus, you must be connected to the VPN.
