AVAILABILITY
IMPORTANTAccess control for Real-Time Customer Data Platform (CDP) Collaboration is provided through the Admin Console and Permissions in Adobe Experience Cloud. In this guide, you’ll learn how to give access to yourself or other members of your team, depending on your use case.
Access control hierarchy
To configure access control to Real-Time CDP Collaboration, you must have system or product administrator privileges. A system administrator has no restrictions and is provisioned during the onboarding process. Meanwhile, a product administrator can provide administrative functions for all products they’ve been assigned to. A product administrator must be given product and administrative access by a system administrator.
These guides will describe configuring access for system administrators, product adminstrators, and end users. Refer to the table below to understand the key difference between the roles.
