Extending the Adobe Experience Manager 6 Administrator User Interface

You can customize the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) administrator user interface to meet your business requirements. For example, you can add a new button or menu item to the user interface that lets an administrator access custom functionality within AEM. To customize the AEM administrator user interface, you overlay JCR nodes located under /libs, place them under /apps and modify JCR nodes and properties. By modifying JCR nodes and properties, you can modify the AEM user admin.





In the previous illustration, notice that a menu option has been modified under Help. This represents a change that you can make by modifying the AEM JCR. To read this development article, click      http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/extending-aem-6-administrator-user.html.
