User and Group permission changes
User and product management is moving to the Admin Console. Adobe will notify you when it is your time to migrate users. After all customers have migrated, help content for Analytics > Admin Tools > User Management will be retired.
What Changed?
Admin > User Management > Groups
Due to the high number of possible permission combinations available, we cannot provide documentation describing all of the API methods that can be used in every permission combination. Generally, non-administrators who are granted Web Services access will have only Read access to API methods. They will not have Write access to methods.
Because the API and interface use the same permissioning system, whatever permissions a particular non-administrator has been granted by an administrator in the interface (Adobe Admin Console), will be the same permissions that user has in the API.
| Enhancement | Description |
|---|---|
| Changes to the Report Access (Customize Groups) |
Add New Group > Report Access The Report Access section on the Define User Group page has been streamlined to four categories, which enable you to customize permissions at a granular level.
Items previously in
For example, you can create a group with access to multiple Analytics tools ( Analysis Workspace, Reports & Analytics, and Report Builder), with permission to specific metrics and dimensions (including eVars), and capabilities like segment or calculated metrics creation. |
| Changes to Predefined Groups |
Administrator access: Predefined groups are no longer required for administrators. Administrators now have access to all items (tools, metrics, dimensions), as well as Web Service access, Report Builder, Activity Map, and Ad Hoc Analysis. Going forward, the purpose of groups is to grant or restrict access to non-administrative users. Custom groups: Custom groups have replaced predefined groups. Existing predefined groups will be migrated to custom groups, using the same group name. Any custom groups that you have created, including their settings, will be preserved. However, you will notice that the location of settings will have moved. For example, Company settings (in Customize Admin Console) are now in Customize Analytics Tools. Users belonging to All Report Access have been migrated to a custom group with access to:
Administrators can delete custom groups and create their own, as all settings that were previously available in predefined groups are available for customization under the Report Access settings in Define User Groups. |
| Dimension-Level Permissions |
You can customize permissions to include or exclude access to dimensions (in addition to metrics).

| Admin Console |
Recommended only for new customers or customers with companies provisioned in the Experience Cloud. A migration for existing Analytics customers to the Experience Cloud identity management system is planned. More information is available in Manage product permissions in the Admin Console. |
Frequently Asked Questions about Permission Changes
Here is important new information about new and planned updates and how they affect your administrative environment.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What permissions changes came in the July 2016 release? | All Report Suite Access When adding report suites to include in a group, you can specify All Report Suite Access. This setting applies group permissions to all current and future report suites. To enable this feature, navigate to User Management > Groups > Add New User Group, then select All Report Suite Access.
|
| Should I use the Admin Console to manage users, or the existing Analytics User Management? |
Changes made in Analytics > Admin > User Management are not reflected in the Admin Console. Therefore, only new customers who already use the Admin Console for user and group management should continue doing so. A migration for existing Analytics group management to the Admin Console is planned. |
| What Permissions changes were made in the October 2016 release? |
The following enhancements to the current Admin Tools interface are available:
|

No, all permissions migrations will happen transparently.
|
| What will not change? |
Visitor Attributes will continue to be non-permissioned. |
Permissioning Quick Reference
The following table lists tasks and where they can take place (depending on a company’s status).
A migrated user and Experience Cloud user refer to users who have accepted an email invitation to join the Experience Cloud. If the email invitation is not accepted, users are still Analytics users and cannot be managed in the Admin Console. (The exception is if the migration is using enterprise or federated IDs. In this case, the user is migrated when the administrator migrates users on a user-by-user basis.)
