Last updated on Aug 3, 2026

Assign predefined roles to users and groups in the Adobe Admin Console, remove them, and manage the permissions each role includes.

Can I assign mutiple roles to a user or user group? How?

Yes, users or user groups can be assigned multiple roles. Permissions on roles are additive, so users will have access if they inherit the same roles from one or more user groups.

User groups can have one or more roles assigned to them. Assign roles and products to user groups so that all users within the group have similar access.

Can I assign Adobe Express roles when assigning licenses to users?

Yes, Adobe Express roles are optional and provide additional access when assigned.

How do settings on member role work with other predefined roles?

The member role settings apply to everyone in your organization. When you want more control over specific features, you can turn off the setting on the member role and use the predefined roles, such as Adobe Express template manager or Adobe Express social publishing manager, to provide access to these specific workflows.

What happens to my users' role assignment if their license is removed?

Product roles are removed when the product license is removed, and users can no longer exercise the role capabilities. However, user roles such as Educator are not associated with any product and remain assigned to the users regardless of their license.

Can I use partner generative AI models if Firefly access is turned off for my organization?
