Using the Adobe Admin Console, organizations can define a flexible administrative hierarchy that enables fine-grained management of Adobe product access and usage.

The Adobe Admin Console offers a method for enterprise users to authenticate with Adobe enterprise offerings using their existing identity management systems via integration with Single Sign-On (SSO) enabled identity management systems. Get more information on how to plan and configure SSO in your organization.

All files and assets on Creative Cloud and Document Cloud are encrypted. For additional layers of control and security, you can choose to have Adobe generate a dedicated encryption key for some or all of the domains in your organization.

The Admin Console is where all the action is. You must have received an email inviting you to join your organization as an Administrator. Accept the invitation before you access the Admin Console. If you've already accepted the invitation, you're ready to start. Not an Enterprise admin? Learn how to sign in with an Enterprise ID.

Adobe uses an underlying identity management system to authenticate and authorize users. You will need to plan and then setup your user identities based on your requirements. You can choose from Adobe IDs, Enterprise IDs, or Federated IDs.

End users cannot create Enterprise IDs. Only administrators can add users to their organizations.

The Admin Console uniquely supports a range of user identification methods including Federated ID/Single Sign-On. It integrates with a range of SAML2.0-compliant identity providers.

When you purchase a product from Adobe, a license represents your right to use Adobe software and services. Licenses are used to authenticate and activate the products on the end user's computers.

As you upgrade from teams (VIP) to ETLA, to insure no lapse in end-user product access, you must assign licenses in the Admin Console before the existing VIP subscription term ends.
