The Adobe Admin Console is a central location for managing the Adobe entitlements across your organization.
Easily manage your licenses, users, payments, and more using the Adobe Admin Console.
Each tab on the Admin Console enables you to perform various tasks. Select the titles below to know more.
If you are unable to sign in to the Admin Console, see Solve Adobe account sign-in issues.
Overview
The Overview efficiently displays a wealth of information about product licenses. It shows the status of licenses in your plan—the number of licenses assigned out of the total available ones. There are also some quick links available to add users and admins.
Select your organization
An administrator can belong to multiple organizations. If a company has multiple subsidiaries that exist as separate organizations, or each subsidiary has a separate license agreement, the same administrator can be assigned to all.
If you're an administrator for multiple organizations, you can switch between organizations using the organization selector. The selected organization shows a green check mark next to the organization's name.
If the organization is a part of a Global Admin Console, a hierarchy icon appears next to the organization's name. You will also see the organization's path and can determine the organization's placement within the hierarchy. For example, in the screenshot, the admin is a member of the organization Athletic Shoe Division and this organization's Global Admin Console path is ACME HQ > Athletic Shoe Division, where Athletic Shoe Division is a child of the organization ACME HQ.
If you have a complex organizational structure that has many Admin Consoles or if you want to break up your main Admin Console into multiple consoles, you can adopt the Global Admin Console. For example, multinational corporations, education consortiums, large school districts, and large government agencies. The Global Admin Console nests existing Admin Consoles into a hierarchical structure, like an organization chart, to provide transparency across a distributed enterprise.
Products
|
|
Enterprise
Teams
The Products page in the Admin Console provides the options to manage your products and product profiles. Product profiles let you enable all or a subset of Adobe applications and services available in a plan and customize settings associated with a given product or plan. You can then assign administrators, called Product Administrators, to the product profiles. These administrators add end users to the product profiles that they manage.
For more information, see:
The Products page in the Admin Console lets you assign product licenses to users. To assign a product license to a user or group, select the desired product on the Products page, and click Add User.
Enter the name or email address of the user. You can search for existing users or add a user by specifying a valid email address and filling in the information on the screen. Click Save. An email is sent to the user or group confirming access to the application.
For more information, see:
Users
The Users page in the Admin Console lets you create, search, update, and remove user accounts. These user accounts entitle the end users in your organization to Adobe products and services. You can also use the bulk edit workflows to add users or modify user details and license assignments. For more information, see:

Settings
|
Who can view this tab: System Administrators and Storage Administrators |
Storage administrators can access only the asset settings and content logs. System administrators can view or modify the following settings depending on their plan:
Privacy and security contacts
In the event of a security incident involving our software solutions, notifications are sent to the appropriate compliance officers. To help ensure prompt notification, as a System admin, you must specify who your security, data protection, and compliance officers are. For details, see Privacy and security contacts.
Console settings
Using console settings you can add custom notes for your end users to communicate with them about how to get assistance if they encounter issues or require support.
Choose a default email language for your organization, to receive emails about the account statuses, such as subscription changes or credit card expiration. If you have a teams membership purchased directly from Adobe, you can change your team name from the Console Settings.
Content logs
As an administrator, you can download detailed reports on how end users are working with corporate assets, such as folders, files, and libraries. These reports are called content logs.
Identity (Enterprise only)
Identity types allow the organizations to have different levels of control over user's account and data. It impacts how your organization stores and shares assets.
Asset settings (Enterprise only)
Asset settings give an organization control over how its employees share its assets outside the organization. Asset Settings are used along with other organizational policy enforcement systems (not provided by Adobe) to ensure that assets are only shared with appropriate external individuals and organizations.
Authentication settings (Enterprise only)
Authentication settings support several password protection levels and policies to ensure safety and security. You can specify a password protection level to apply to all users across your organization.
Encryption settings (Enterprise only)
Encryption settings generate a dedicated encryption key for extra layers of control and security.
Support
