Introduction: setting up users in Workfront

The access that users are assigned and how users are organized in Adobe Workfront has a greater effect on your Workfront system and how your users interact with the system than many people realize.

Licenses, access levels, and sharing permissions create a hierarchy that determines what users can access in Workfront. In addition, user organization setups like companies, groups, and teams provide ways to share information, grant access to set up items, organize information on reports, and more.

It’s important that Karen, as the system administrator, understands the users, their business units, and what information they need access to before setting up organizational units in Workfront.

What you'll learn

In this module, you will learn how to:

Determine which license types your users will need.
Limit what users can do with their assigned license through access levels.
Grant permissions to specific Adobe Workfront items through object sharing.
Establish an organizational hierarchy through companies, groups, and teams.
Create user profiles and assign users the appropriate level of access.

Workfront recommends that you wait to create user profiles until you have set up access levels and the organizational hierarchy. That's because each user will be assigned the things you're setting up during this module—an access level, a company, a group or subgroup, a team, and a job role. This is often easier to do when creating the user.
