Why to add users to Adobe 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.

Next steps
Create packages
Once added, your users are ready to be assigned their designated apps and services.
Assign licenses to end users based on your licensing method:
- Named User Licensing: Add these users to products (for teams) or product profiles (for enterprises) to give them Adobe product and service entitlements. For more details, see how to create Named User Licensing packages and product profiles.
- Shared Device Licensing: Added users can use the configured shared devices which are accessible by Organization users only. For more details, see Create SDL Packages.

-
Go to the client machine and double-click the package file (Windows or macOS).
