Manage product profiles for enterprise users

A product profile is based on a product that your organization has purchased. You use a product profile to entitle users with the Adobe apps and services included in the product.

1. For each product on the Admin Console, you create one or more product profiles.
   Read about products on the Admin Console.
2. In each product profile, you assign users and user groups (in your organization).
   After this, each user belonging to a product profile, is entitled with the Adobe apps and services contained in the product.
   Read about users and user groups on the Admin Console.
3. When a user signs in with their credentials as specified in the product profile, they are granted access to the apps and services of the product on which the product profile is based.

Deploy apps and services to end users

Assigning users to product profiles, entitles users to the associated apps and services. However, you'll still need to:

1. Create Named User Licensing or Shared Device Licensing packages (of the apps and services) on the Admin console. 
2. And then deploy these packages to end-user machines (for Named User Licensing) or shared devices (for Shared Device Licensing).

Assign users to product profile from Products section

The easiest way to assign users to existing (or default) product profiles, is to use the Assign Users option on the corresponding product in the Products tab.

Create product profiles

As the product admin, you can create product profiles and assign product profile admins those profiles.

For Adobe products that support the concept of roles, you can assign roles to users, which provide users with role-based access to that product. For details, see Manage product permissions.

Manage product profile admins

Managing the users on a product profile can be a regular and time consuming task. If you're in a large organization, we recommend that product admins define a separate product profile admin role. The product profile admins can individually manage their product profiles.

Add users and user groups to a product profile

To quickly add user or user groups to a product profile, use the Assign Users option on your desired product. However, while working on product profiles, you have more options to manage your product profile users and user groups.

Migrate users and user groups from old profiles to new profiles

When you add users to a product profile (either directly or via a user group), you entitle those users with the Adobe apps and services of the product on which you've created the product profile. However, you may be required to change the entitlement for those users. For example, your users may currently be part of a Photoshop. And now you want to move them to the Photography plan that your company has purchased.

Migrate users

The following procedures describe how to migrate users from Product Profile A (with old entitlements) to Product Profile B (with new entitlements)

Migrate user groups

The following procedure describes how to migrate user groups from Product Profile A (with old entitlements) to Product Profile B (with new entitlements)

Remove users and user groups from a product profile

Remove users from a product profile to ensure that they're no longer entitled to the associated apps and services. However, this does not remove the users from the Admin Console. And since it's possible to add users to multiple product profiles, removing users from a single product profile only ensures they're no longer entitled to the apps and services of that product profile. 

Manage product profile quotas

Once you've created a few product profiles, you can use the Distribute Quota tool to define quotas to guide administrators regarding the number of users that can be assigned to those profiles. For example, if your organization has purchased a total of 1000 users for a product and you've created four product profiles, you can choose to quickly assign a quota of 250 users to each Product Profile. Alternatively, you can manually fine-tune the quota assigned to the product profiles.
If you have purchased Enterprise products in VIP:

• The quota you allocate to single Product Profile cannot exceed the product quota.
• The sum of all Product Profile quotas in a product cannot exceed the product quota.
  For example, say that the product quota is 10. Then, if the quota allocated to one Product Profile is 6 and another profile is 4, you cannot increase the quota in either of these profiles. Also, you cannot increase the quota of users to any another profile in the product. This is unless you reduce the quota for one of the profiles or if you increase the product quota.
  
• You cannot reduce the quota allocated to a profile if all the licenses in that profile are already assigned to users. You must unassign license from users before you reduce the quota.

Export product profile users

Download data for users of a profile. You can then use this file to Add multiple users to another Product Profile in your organization.

The CSV file that you download contains the data as defined in the CSV File format section above.

Delete product profiles

Bulk operation results

When you run a bulk operation such as adding or removing multiple users of a Product Profile, you receive an email. In addition, you can view the details of the bulk operation in the Bulk Operation Results page.

Important: The Results page displays reports that are 90 days old or less. Reports that are more than 90 days old are automatically removed, without the interference of a System Admin.
