How to leave your organization-owned account

Before leaving your organization, ensure that you back up all content stored with Adobe and transfer your administrative roles, if any. Leaving the organization, you will lose access to all benefits provided by your organization.

Make a local copy or backup of your files, photos, videos, and other projects stored with Adobe, before leaving your organization. After you leave the organization, the apps assigned by your organization will start showing try/buy prompts and you will lose access to all benefits and services provided by your organization.

If you have any administrative roles assigned in the organization, you must transfer or revoke them before you can leave the organization:

• As a Contract Owner, you can transfer your role [helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/change-contract-owner.html] to another System Administrator.
• As a System, Product, Product Profile, or User Group Administrator, you can:
  • Contact another System Administrator [https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/contact-administrator.html] to revoke your administrative roles.
    
  • Or, Add another administrator [https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/admin-roles.html#add-admin] to the same role. Then, ask the newly added administrator to accept the invite and revoke your administrative roles [https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/using/admin-roles.html#Editenterpriseadminrole].
• As a Deployment, Support, or Storage Administrator, contact your System Administrator [https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/contact-administrator.html] to revoke or transfer your administrative roles.

The procedure to leave an organization depends on whether or not your organization has migrated to Adobe's new enterprise storage model. If your organization has migrated, use the steps in this section.
