Why to add users to Adobe Admin Console

NOTE
As an admin on the Adobe Admin Console, after you’ve chosen your identity type and set up identity, your next task is to add users to the Admin Console.

Adobe enterprise and teams broadly defines two types of users:

Administrators (admins)

Enterprise or teams admins perform administrative tasks on the Admin Console. You add admins to define a flexible administrative hierarchy that enables fine-grained management of Adobe product access, usage, and other administrative tasks.

All admins must be added to the Admin Console. When adding them, administrative privileges are based on their administrative roles.

End users

End users are the users in your organization or institution who use the Adobe products and services that your organization or institution has obtained as part of the agreement with Adobe.

Decide your user management strategy

Depending on your requirements, you add, remove, or update users individually or use one of the available bulk upload methods. Use the following matrix as a guide to plan your user management.

NOTE
If you’re a new Adobe enterprise or teams customer, we recommend that you go through this table before you start managing your users on the Admin Console. Existing customers can use this, especially if they’re planning to migrate from one identity type to another (see Edit identity type).
