Learn how to manage API developers on the Adobe Admin Console.
Adobe Developer Console is the platform for developers in your organization who want to integrate, extend, or create apps and experiences built on Adobe's products and technologies. Developers use it to build on top of Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, Experience Cloud, or other Adobe API products.
Your developers on Adobe I/O build API credentials with Adobe API products. These API credentials are a pipeline from external apps and services to the Adobe API.
- First, you add developers (individually or in bulk) to product profiles of products that include API access on the Admin Console. You can also set auto-assignment rules to automatically provision access for qualified users based on those rules.
This grants your developers permission to create API credentials. - Next, your developers add the required API credentials to Adobe Developer Console.
- Finally, you add these API credentials to product profiles again on the Admin Console.
On the Admin Console, you can also edit user (or developer) accounts to add or remove them from product profiles. You can also remove developers from product profiles.
Note
The Developer account type is only available for a specific set of Adobe products. A Developer account can be added to the Admin Console only for products that allow this account type.
As an administrator, you create and manage developer accounts. Adding developers to product profiles grants them permission to create API credentials in the Adobe Developer Console and associate those credentials with the profiles they can access. API calls then run with the permissions of the associated product profiles.
The Assign Developer option in the Quick Links section of the Overview tab lets you add a developer to multiple products at once.
To add the developer to multiple products, click Add Developers in the Quick Links section in the upper-right corner of the Overview tab.
Enter a name or email address. You can search for existing users or add a user by specifying a valid email address, and filling the information on the screen.
Select the products to assign to the user.
Scroll down to add more developers and select product profiles to assign to them. Then, select Save.
Note
You can add up to ten developers here. To add more, repeat the above steps.
The Developers tab of a product profile allows you to add developers to that product profile.
In the Admin Console, go to Products.
Select a product.
Select a product profile (or create one, if required) from the list and go to the Developers tab.
Select Add Developer.
Enter a name or email address. You can search for existing users or add a user by specifying a valid email address, and filling the information on the screen.
Note
You can add up to 10 developers here. To add more, select Save and repeat the above steps.
Select Save. The developers are added to the selected product profile.
You can use the Bulk add workflow to add multiple developers with a comma separated (.csv) file.
In the Admin Console, go to Users.
Select Add Users by CSV.
In the Add users by CSV dialog box, select Download CSV Template, and choose either Current user list or Standard template. The template includes sample data.
For the field definitions, see CSV file format.
Update the downloaded CSV file with the data of developers to add and list the names of the product profiles they should use for development in the Developer Access column.
Drag the updated CSV onto the Add Users by CSV dialog box and select Upload.
After the bulk operation is complete, you receive an email. You can also view a detailed report of the operation via Bulk Operation Results. Learn how to view, download, and clear the results of bulk user operations in the Adobe Admin Console.
For existing users or developers, you can add or remove product profiles of products that include API access, thereby granting or revoking access to the product profile for that developer.
In the Admin Console, go to Users > Developers.
From the list of users, select the name of a user.
To edit the product profiles that developers have access to, select the More Options 
icon, and select Edit Developer Products Assigned Directly.
Add or remove developer API access for the user.
Select Save. The developer gains access to the profiles you added and loses access to those you removed.
You can remove a developer from a product profile but still retain the developer as a user in your organization.
In the Admin Console, go to Products.
Select a product.
Select a product profile from the list and go to the Developers tab.
To remove one or more developers from this product profile, select the checkbox to the left of the developer name.
Select Remove Developers.
In the Remove Developer from product profile screen choose one of the following options:
Remove both developer access and user access: The developer no longer has permissions to build API credentials for this product profile. Also, the developer will not have access to the products defined in this profile.
Remove developer access, but keep user access: The developer no longer has permissions to build API credentials for this product profile. However, if the developer had access to the product as a user, that access will remain.
Select Remove Developers. The selected developers are removed based on the choice in the previous step.
From the Users tab on the Admin Console, you can remove developers and choose their residual access:
- Remove the user access to the associated product profiles.
- Retain the user access to the associated product profiles.
- Remove the user from the organization.
In the Admin Console, go to Users > Developers.
Select Remove Developers.
In the Remove Developer from product profile screen choose one of the following options:
Remove both developer access and user access: The developer no longer has permissions to build API credentials for any product profile. Also, the developer will not have access to any products if they had been given user access as well. Use this option if the developer is no longer working on this project and no longer needs access to any profile, but the developer may later return for further work in this organization.
Remove developer access, but keep user access: The developer no longer has permissions to build API credentials. However, the developer will continue to have access to the products. Use this option if the developer will continue as a user but no longer need developer access on the adobe.io console.
Remove from organization: Remove the developer from the organization on the Admin Console. Use this option if the developer is no longer working on anything in your organization, either as a user or a developer.
Select Remove Developers. The selected developers are removed based on the choice in the previous step.
