Adobe is updating dedicated encryption on the Admin console from directory-level to organization-level encryption.

  • Videos published by Adobe Voice
  • Lightroom photos
  • Colors that are stored by the Adobe Color service
  • All data that is managed by the Behance and Adobe Font services
  • All data managed by the Marketing Cloud
  • Saved application preferences
  • Information about the account holder such as name, email, licenses, and other basic user account information.
  • Data of members of an organization with an Adobe ID account (unless the user is collaborating on content when Business ID, Enterprise ID, or Federated ID users initiated the collaboration)
Note:

We're updating organizations (teams or enterprises) to the Enterprise storage model to enable enterprise storage and other enterprise-level features for Adobe ID users.

You'll be notified when your organization is scheduled for the update. After the update, the Adobe ID users are moved to enterprise storage, and the organization directly controls their business profiles.
