User management
After provisioning is complete and sandboxes are bound, complete the following steps to provide Adobe Journey Optimizer B2B Edition access for your team and users.
- Create a Marketo Engage product profile in the Admin Console (new Marketo Engage instance only).
- Create a user group in the Admin Console.
- Edit built-in roles or create a custom role with Journey Optimizer B2B Edition permissions.
- Add users or groups to roles.
As an administrator, you can complete these tasks in the Adobe Admin Console, which is a central place to administer and manage your Adobe product licenses and users. In the Admin Console, you can create and manage users in a single location instead of within your various individual solutions. Refer to the Admin Console overview page to learn more about its functions and capabilities.

Before you can use the Admin Console to administer users within your team, you need to ensure that you can access the Admin Console and have the appropriate permissions.

If you cannot find the email, open a browser directly to the Admin Console at https://adminconsole.adobe.com.

Select Administrators from the Users card to verify that you are a system administrator.

Edit roles for product permissions edit-roles
Permissions are unitary rights that allow you to define the authorizations assigned to a product profile. Each permission is gathered under a capability, such as journeys or buying groups, which represents the different functionalities or objects in Journey Optimizer B2B Edition.
The Permissions area of Adobe Experience Platform is where administrators can define user roles and access policies to manage access permissions for features and objects within a product application. In this app, you can create and manage roles, as well as assign the desired resource permissions for these roles. Permissions also allow you to manage the sandboxes and users associated with a specific role.
