Learn how system admins, product admins, and product profile admins can manage product profiles to control user access to Adobe services.

To manage access to Adobe services, go to the Product tab in the Admin Console, select a product, choose a product profile, and select Details to configure enabled services.

Go to the Admin Console

Enable or disable Adobe services

When assigning a plan with storage and services, you can configure which services are enabled for each product profile. This controls what users can access within that profile.

Note

You can enable and disable services at the product profile level, not for individual user accounts.

  1. Go to the Products tab in the Adobe Admin Console and select a product.

  2. Select a product profile and then select Details.

  3. In the Edit product profile wizard, select Next twice to reach the Enable services step, where you can configure which services are available to users.

    Enable services step on the Edit Product Profile wizard with all services enabled.
    Enable all services for the best Creative Cloud experience.

  4. Update the enabled services for the product profile, and select Save.

    Note

    For all your Adobe apps & services to function correctly, there is a set of URLs/domains that must be allowed on port 443.

Understand how service settings affect user access

Make note of the following when enabling and disabling services:

  • If a user belongs to multiple product profiles or is entitled to multiple Single App plans within a product profile, and you enable a particular service for one plan and not the other, the user continues to have access to that service. The user is assigned a union of the entitlements.
  • A user with a Creative Cloud for enterprise plan that includes services may also have signed up, as an individual, for a Creative Cloud plan with an Adobe ID. The user continues to have access to any service that you disable for the Creative Cloud for enterprise plan, if the user's individual plan includes that service.
  • For a user working with desktop apps, enabling and disabling services may only take effect when the user closes and reopens the app.
  • For a user working with a web service or a mobile app, enabling and disabling services may only take effect when the user signs out and signs back in.

Identify core and optional Creative Cloud services

Certain services are not displayed in the Adobe Admin Console, are core to the product function, and are always on with a plan that includes storage. Core services are not configurable, for example, sync settings, collaboration, storage, Creative Cloud Libraries, and Color CC.

Optional services are the ones that can be enabled or disabled from within the Adobe Admin Console. Learn more about optional services.

Optimize user experience
