If you have purchased stand-alone or bundled plans that have Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions – Enterprise or Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions – Business, then you can use the Adobe Admin Console to manage users (and their identities), products, and entitlements associated with the users and products. You can also assign multiple administrators to help manage your organization or the functional behavior of Document Cloud products and services. For example, you can assign a specific feature administrator to manage the behavior of Acrobat Sign. For more information, see Manage Administrators.

The Adobe Admin Console is being improved to offer more control over the entitlement and authority of Acrobat Sign users.

  • Customers on the modern experience will see their offering cards (on the Overview page of the Admin Console) referring to Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions - Enterprise or Adobe Acrobat Sign Solutions - Business
    • The bulk of this document indicates the options under the modern process
  • The legacy experience is indicated by the offering card referring to the service as Document Cloud for enterprise or Document Cloud for business

  3. When the product profile page opens, click the Add User button

    Add User

  4. The Add users to this product profile page loads:

      • If the email is unique within your account, an option to create a new user is provided
    • Chose the product role (authority level) for the user

Acrobat Sign has an additional column that must be added to the CSV template to enable admin authority: Product Role

The possible values for the Product Role column are:

  • USER - A user of the system with no administrative authority
  • SIGN_ACCOUNT_ADMIN - An account-level admin that has the authority to configure the account, to include all group-level settings
  • SIGN_PRIVACY_ADMIN - An account-level admin with the additional authority to delete users/content form the system

Currently, there are three authority roles available in the Admin Console:

  • Sign Account Admin - An account-level admin with the authority to edit all aspects of the Acrobat Sign application, including all groups
  • Sign Account and Privacy Admin - An Acrobat Sign account-level admin with the additional authority to delete users/content from the account.

Group-level admins must be privileged in the Acrobat Sign system.
