Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration Starter Overview

Use Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration Starter to collaborate with a licensed partner on privacy-centric data projects. You do not need your own Collaboration license to participate.

Your licensed partner invites you into Collaboration and uses their credits to fund your joint workflows, across both advertiser-to-publisher and brand-to-brand patterns. To learn more about these patterns and how they work, read the collaboration patterns and end-to-end workflow guides.

As an invited Starter user, you can:

Prerequisites prerequisites

To get started with Collaboration Starter, ensure that both your organization and your licensed partner are located in the same region. You must be invited by a partner who holds a Real-Time CDP Prime, Ultimate, or Collaboration license.

To initiate the invitation, provide the following information to your licensed partner:

After you receive and accept the invitation, your organization must review and sign a no-cost Sales Order with Adobe to access Collaboration Starter. For more details on the invitation process, see the inviting a collaborator to Collaboration Starter guide.
