Sample questions
Three questions from the AD0-E138 practice bank, with the answer and why each option is right or wrong.
Question 1
An outdoor clothing retailer refreshes its seasonal product pages every quarter in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service. Authors must prepare next quarter's versions while the current pages stay live and unchanged. Which feature should the authors use?
- A. Language copy
- B. Launch
- C. Page version
- D. Live copy
Answer: B. Launches let authors edit two versions of pages at once: the pages that are published now, and a copy to be published later. Adobe's own example is the quarterly refresh of seasonal product pages. Normal maintenance edits made to the source pages are duplicated into the launch automatically. [2]
- A. Wrong. A language copy is the starting point for translated content. It does not stage future changes to the same pages.
- B. Right. A launch is a copy of the source pages that authors edit for a future release while the current pages stay published. When the date arrives, the launch is promoted back to the source pages.
- C. Wrong. A version is a snapshot of a page at a point in time. It records the past and gives authors no separate copy to edit for a future release.
- D. Wrong. A live copy reuses content in another location and keeps it in step with its source. It is not built to hold future changes that replace the source pages on a set date.
Question 2
A marketer holds the Power User product profile for the production author environment of Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service in the Adobe Admin Console. After sign in, every asset action the marketer tries is blocked. What is the most likely cause?
- A. The Power User profile must be swapped for Collaborator
- B. The marketer is not in the right local group in Adobe Experience Manager
- C. A Power User profile for the publish environment is also needed
- D. Product profiles work only after an administrator publishes them
Answer: B. Access to Adobe Experience Manager Assets needs two layers. The Admin Console product profile lets a user reach an environment. Local group membership and the access control lists on those groups decide which asset tasks the user can perform. A product profile is necessary but not sufficient. [3]
- A. Wrong. Collaborator is another Admin Console profile. Any profile only grants entry to the environment, so swapping profiles does not give the marketer local group permissions.
- B. Right. Adobe describes two layers. The product profile gives the entitlement to reach the environment, and local group membership with its access control lists decides what the marketer can do. A fully licensed Power User can still be blocked from every asset operation without the right local group.
- C. Wrong. The marketer's actions are blocked on the author environment the marketer already reaches. What the marketer can do there is set by local groups and their access control lists.
- D. Wrong. The marketer already reaches the environment, so the profile layer is in place. What the marketer lacks is the local group layer inside Adobe Experience Manager.
Question 3
An administrator of Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service works for an organization that keeps several thousand staff and their groups in Active Directory. The organization wants the users and groups in the Adobe Admin Console kept in line with it. Which approach should the administrator use, and which way does the sync run?
- A. The User Sync Tool, syncing one way from the directory to the Admin Console
- B. The User Sync Tool, syncing both ways between the directory and the Admin Console
- C. A .csv file upload, syncing one way from the directory to the Admin Console
Answer: A. Adobe gives three ways to onboard users to the Admin Console: manual creation, a .csv upload, and the User Sync Tool for directories such as Active Directory. The User Sync Tool syncs one way, from the directory to the Admin Console. Rights inside Adobe Experience Manager are still set on local groups. [4]
- A. Right. Adobe states that the User Sync Tool creates and manages Adobe users from Active Directory and calls the User Management API so the Admin Console matches the directory. The change flow is entirely one way.
- B. Wrong. Adobe states that the change flow of the User Sync Tool is entirely one way. Edits made in the Admin Console are not pushed out to the directory.
- C. Wrong. Adobe gives the .csv upload as a way to add users in bulk. It does not keep the Admin Console synchronized with a directory. The User Sync Tool does that.
