Enable user access to Analyzer in Acrobat

Last updated on Aug 24, 2026

Provision licensed users, enable Analyzer in the applicable product profile, and provide access to shared credits for metered operations.

Users must have an individual Acrobat Studio for Enterprise license to access Analyzer. Enable Analyzer in the Studio product profile, then use a user group to manage the users assigned to the Studio offer.

Users who need access to the organization's shared credit pool must also be assigned to the Acrobat shared credits user group.

Before you begin

Make sure:

  • Your organization has Acrobat Studio for Enterprise.
  • The user has or will receive an individual Acrobat Studio for Enterprise license.
  • The Acrobat shared credits offer is available in your organization if users need to draw from the shared credit pool.

Adobe provisions the shared credits offer through the applicable Enterprise Term License Agreement. You don't need to configure the offer itself before assigning its product profile.

Assign Acrobat Studio for Enterprise

In Adobe Admin Console, assign the user to the applicable Acrobat Studio for Enterprise product profile.

You can assign users individually or use an existing user group if your organization manages access by department or team.

Analyzer isn't available to users who don't have an individual Acrobat Studio for Enterprise license. Assigning the Acrobat Shared Credits profile by itself doesn't provide Analyzer access.

Enable Analyzer in the Studio product profile

After assigning the Studio license:

In Adobe Admin Console, go to Products > All products and services.

Acrobat Studio for Enterprise.

Select the Acrobat Studio for Enterprise product link.

Adobe Admin Console showing Products > All products and services with Acrobat Studio for Enterprise highlighted in the product list.
Open Products > All products and services, then select Acrobat Studio for Enterprise.

Select the profile's View Details icon to open the default configuration panel.

Enable the Analyzer service toggle.

Open the product profile details and verify that Analyzer is enabled for the profile.

Click outside the configuration panel to save the settings.

The Analyzer control operates independently from the other Studio AI services. An administrator can enable or disable Analyzer without changing access to other AI capabilities.

Default Analyzer setting

For new Acrobat Studio for Enterprise customers, Analyzer is enabled by default.

For existing Studio customers, the initial Analyzer setting reflects the organization's existing AI and cloud-services configuration:

  • Analyzer starts enabled when both Acrobat AI and PDF Services are enabled.
  • Analyzer starts disabled when either Acrobat AI or PDF Services is disabled.

An administrator can change the Analyzer setting later.

Create user groups to manage entitlement

For ongoing administration, user groups provide a more scalable way to manage access than assigning users individually. After you associate a user group with the applicable product profile, membership in the group determines who receives access. Administrators can then manage the group population rather than maintaining individual assignments within the product profile.

In the Admin console, navigate to Users > User groups.

Select New user group.

Provide a descriptive group name and optional expanded description.

Select Save when completed.

Adobe Admin Console User groups page with New user group highlighted and the Create a new user group panel open.
Select New user group to create a group for managing Analyzer access.

The new group is visible on the User groups page.

Select the Group name link to open the entitlement profile.

Select the Product & Roles tab.

Select the ellipsis in the Products section, and select Assign from the dropdown menu.

Open the user group, then use the Products menu to select Assign and associate the group with the appropriate product profile.

Select Acrobat Studio for Enterprise from the list of products.

Selecting the product updates the panel to expose the roles that can be assigned to the users in the group.

Select Apply without checking any roles.

Adobe Admin Console showing a user group entitlement with the Select a Product and Select Roles panels open for assigning product access.
Select the product and define the roles that should be applied to the users in the group.

Add users to the user group.

The users added to this user group are licensed users, and have all of the access that licensing provides.

Create a second group using the same process for the Acrobat Shared Credits service.

Acrobat Shared Credits gives users access to the organization’s pooled generative credits for metered activity, including document ingestion and Slack or Microsoft Teams queries. Add users who need these capabilities to the Shared Credits group.

Note

Adobe provisions the Acrobat Shared Credits offer as part of your Enterprise Term License Agreement (ETLA). You don't need to configure the offer in Adobe Admin Console before assigning access.

Assign access to shared credits

Add users to the Acrobat shared credits user group for users who need to draw from the organization's pooled credits for Analyzer operations.

The shared credits profile does not replace the Studio license. It only provides access to the shared credit pool.

Grant Analyzer administrator access

Analyzer administration requires an additional Admin Console role.

To give a user Analyzer administrator access:

  1. Make sure the user has an Acrobat Studio for Enterprise license.
  2. Make sure Analyzer is enabled for the user.
  3. Grant the user Product Admin privileges for the Studio offer.

Removing the Studio Product Admin privilege also removes Analyzer administrator access.
