Last updated on

Applies to:
- Persona: System Administrator
- OS: macOS and Windows
- Device: Company-owned desktop machines
- Surface: Latest Version of Creative Cloud and Acrobat Pro desktop applications
Currently does not support:
- Web services (such as Adobe Acrobat Sign, Adobe Assets, Adobe Libraries)
- Mobile Applications
- Acrobat Reader
- Dreamweaver
Overview
This setting lets you configure how Creative Cloud desktop apps and Acrobat Pro desktop authenticate users, combined with your device deployment process. When users sign in, they're automatically redirected to your identity provider (IdP) for the domain you've claimed.
Note
To use this feature, claim your domain in Adobe Admin Console. You can claim multiple domains, but each device must resolve to a single claimed domain. If you've claimed multiple domains, you can redirect different users to different domains.
Benefits
Configuring authentication settings for your organization lets you:
- Automatically redirect users to your identity provider at app launch, for domains claimed in Admin Console
- Restrict sign-in to Organizational IDs only
- Remove social sign-in options from the authentication screen
