2. Adobe Admin (Entitlement) Console: Log in here
The Adobe Admin Console is the central location for entitling users to access Adobe products (like Acrobat Sign) and contacting support.
As the first user in the account, you are automatically set as the System Administrator.
To give you authority over the Acrobat Sign product, you must assign yourself as the Product Administrator:
Log in to the Adobe Admin Console (if you aren't already)
Navigate to the Users tab
Single click your name to open your user details
The User Details page opens.
Click the ellipsis (...) in the Administrative Rights section and select Edit admin rights
The Edit Admin page loads.
- In the Product Administrator section, select Acrobat Sign
- Click Next
The Edit Admin Summary page loads.
- Click Save
The user page refreshes showing that you are now a product admin for Acrobat Sign:
When a user is promoted to a Product admin, an email is sent to that user with a Get Started button that opens the Adobe admin console:
To make a product available to users, you must first define a profile for the product. By assigning the product profile to a user, you entitle that user to access the product.
Select Product in the top navigation bar
Select Acrobat Sign from the product list in the left column.
Click Document Cloud to expand the offerings if you don't see Acrobat Sign
- Click the New Profile button
Define the Profile Name as an intuitive value.
- Click Next
The Quota page allows you to limit the number of licenses that a profile can control.
- If you purchased a number of transactions, you will only have a quota of 1.
- Assign the 1 quota to the profile
- If you purchased a number of individual licenses, the full number of available licenses is displayed, and you can assign as many to the profile as is deemed appropriate
- Any number (up to the amount available) can be assigned to the profile. If you create multiple profiles for this entitlement, the amount assigned to the profile is deducted from the amount available for subsequent profiles.
Click Save
Click Users in the top navigation bar
