When is it appropriate to use a closed user group in AEM?

Using a closed user group in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is particularly suitable for restricting access to published content. This ensures that only a selected group of users can view the content that has been made public or available for general consumption. Closed user groups are beneficial in scenarios where exclusive content is provided to a specific audience, ensuring that proprietary, sensitive, or premium material is not accessible to the broader public.

This level of access control is essential for maintaining content security and ensuring that only designated users can interact with particular published materials, allowing organizations to tailor content delivery to meet specific audience needs. By utilizing closed user groups for this purpose, organizations can enhance the privacy of certain content and strictly control who can view their published works.
