What is the primary responsibility of a template author in AEM?

The primary responsibility of a template author in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is to create templates using the template editor. This role focuses on designing the structure and layout of web pages that can be reused across various sites or sections of a website. By utilizing the template editor, the template author ensures that the templates adhere to the design and functional requirements of the organization, allowing for consistency and efficiency in web content management.

Creating templates involves specifying the layout, including which components can be used and their arrangement. While template authors may interact with components, their main task revolves around the overarching design and functionality of the templates themselves rather than the detailed creation of individual components. Therefore, their work is crucial for establishing a robust framework that editors and authors will use to manage content more efficiently.

The other roles, such as defining access rights or managing project timelines, are important in the overall project management and governance of AEM but do not fall within the specific responsibilities of a template author. Their focus is specifically on the creation of templates that facilitate content delivery and user experience.
