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.
Select a Product Profile, and navigate to Admins.
Click Add Admin.
On the Add Admin screen, enter the name or email of the user and select the user from the drop-down list that displays.
If the user you are adding does not exist in your organization in the Admin Console, enter the user's email address. You are prompted to enter the user's details.
You can add up to ten admins here. To add more, repeat the above steps after saving the changes.
Click Save.

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.
The following procedures describe how to migrate users from Product Profile A (with old entitlements) to Product Profile B (with new entitlements)
Navigate to Product Profile A and go to the Users tab.
Click and choose Export users list to CSV.
Choose a folder location on your computer and click OK.
When you migrate users to a product profile, each user will receive an email notification that they have been added to the new profile. Since this operation may involve moving a large number of users across profiles, we recommend that you turn off user notifications on the new profile to which you are moving your users.
Navigate to Product Profile B.
Click Settings.
Turn off user notifications and save the profile.
Navigate to Product Profile B and go to the Users tab.
Click and choose Add users by CSV.

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.
Select a Product Profile, and navigate to Users.
Select the check boxes to the left of the user names and click Remove Users.
In the confirmation dialog box, click Remove Users.
Use the Bulk remove users procedure to simultaneously remove multiple users from a Product Profile. For example, to move several users from one profile to another, you can remove them from one profile and then add them to the other.

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.
