Let's get started with the Admin Console: Ensure the right people have access to the Adobe apps and services they need. Manage Adobe software licenses across your institution. Delegate IT admin tasks to your team. Get the Adobe support you need. Learn how to address these issues and more using the Admin Console.
Admin Console The Admin Console will make your job easier and save you time by providing a central location for managing your Adobe entitlements. The Admin Console is your one-stop shop for managing your Creative Cloud and Adobe Document Cloud memberships across your institution. And with the User Sync automation tool, you can bypass tedious tasks and manual steps. User Sync allows you to leverage your Active Directory (or other tested OpenLDAP directory services) to create and manage users of Adobe enterprise solutions on the Admin Console. You can automate on-/off-boarding tasks and avoid manually adding and deleting users on the Admin Console. Get started by accessing the Admin Console through your web browser at https://adminconsole.adobe.com/enterprise. Note: The Admin Console is available only to existing enterprise customers who have access provided.

Up next: What identity types are best for your institution s needs?
What identity types are best for your institution s needs? The Admin Console is used to deploy software to named users. While this might be different from the serial number deployment you re used to, it s a common practice, and we offer support for three different user identity types. Choose the one that's right for your needs: 1 2 3 Federated ID Best choice for most enterprises. These organizations need to support Single Sign-on (SSO) for access to other apps and cloud services. We recommend this method, because it reduces IT workload and offers the best security. If a user leaves your institution, the user s ability to access applications, services, and creative assets ends as soon as their credentials are revoked. Enterprise ID Best choice for large organizations who aren t ready to support SSO. This account type is created, owned, and managed by your organization. Adobe hosts the Enterprise ID and performs authentication. End users do not control accounts. Adobe ID Best option for your students, faculty, and staff, when neither 1 or 2 apply. This ID type is created, owned, and managed by the end user. You can assign or remove software licenses as needed.
Delegate admin tasks within your team. We suggest you delegate roles within the Admin Console based on your team s responsibilities. 1 2 System Admin Super user for the organization; allowed to perform all administrative tasks in the Admin Console. Product Admin Creates and manages product profiles, including customizing services and adding and removing users and groups. 4 5 User Group Admin Administers the descriptions of user groups and adds and removes users, but cannot create new users groups. Deployment Admin Creates, downloads, and administers deployment packages. 3 Product Profile Admin Adds and removes users and groups from a product configuration, but cannot create or edit the product profiles. 6 Support Delegate Support champion who can open and track support cases and schedule Adobe Expert Services sessions.
