Connect Central administration basics

 

Note:

The Adobe Connect Admin Guide is intended for users with administrator privileges. After logging in, those users will see the Admin tab in the top menu. Other users, such as hosts with access to Connect Central but without administrator rights, should refer to Connect Central Basics in the Adobe Connect User Guide.

Adobe Connect Central (CC) is a web-based portal for managing Adobe Connect sessions. Access and functional privileges are based on user role, and each role provides access to certain features and areas of the user interface. For example:

  • Full administrator access: Admins can see and use all the features under the Admin tab, including features for managing accounts, permissions, audio providers, UI and app usage, security, and admin-only reports.
  • Limited administrator access: When an admin assigns limited admin privileges to a host, that person can log in and access most Connect Central features, including those for creating and managing any session type, content, and most reports. They cannot see features located under the hidden Admin tab. See LINK Create limited administrators.
  • Seminar admins, event admins, etc.: A full admin can assign other roles to individuals who may need to manage certain types of sessions via Connect Central.

CC access is via the portal URL:

  • When CC is an Adobe-hosted Adobe service, Adobe sends the URL after creating your account. For example, https://[accountname].adobeconnect.com.
  • When CC is deployed on an on-premise server, use the domain URL provided by your IT administrator.

To administer your Adobe Connect account:

  1. Navigate to the CC URL.
  2. Log in with your administrator credential.
  3. Select the Admin tab.

Roles and permissions in Adobe Connect

Permission to do just about anything in Adobe Connect is based on a user's role. Both individual users and groups can have multiple roles and belong to one or more other groups. To learn more about this complex topic, refer to the Adobe Connect User Guide.
