Log in to the Mobile Core Service using your Adobe ID

IMPORTANT

To use the Push Services functionality users must log in to the Mobile Core Service by using their Adobe ID and their Analytics account must be linked to their Adobe IDs. Push Services functionality is not available if users log in using their existing Adobe Analytics accounts.

If users do not have Adobe IDs, complete the following steps:

An email message is automatically sent to each user after the administrator completes the previous step.
(Users) Log in to Mobile using their Adobe ID.

Each user must link the Analytics solution account from the Experience Cloud organization.

Sign in to the Adobe Experience Cloud with an Adobe ID.
In the upper right corner, select the Analytics company name.
Click Add Organization and select Adobe SiteCatalyst/Adobe Social from the drop-down list.
Type the company name, your legacy credentials for the specified company, and click Link Account.

The Adobe ID is now linked to your Analytics account, company, and log-in credentials.
