Step 1. Add users (Optional)
When you start using the new Properties functionality, all user management must be performed in the Adobe Admin Console for Enterprise. However, all of your existing users in Target will be migrated from Target to the Admin Console for Enterprise.
- In the Admin Console, click the Users tab at the top of the page > Add Users to create new users or to edit existing users.
- Follow the instructions in Manage Users and Groups in the Experience Cloud in the Enterprise User Guide.
Step 2. Create a workspace (product profile)
A workspace (product profile) lets an organization assign a specific set of users to a specific set of properties. In many ways, a workspace is similar to a report suite in Analytics.
Organizations can begin taking advantage of Enterprise permissions functionality by creating new workspaces within Admin Console, assigning Target properties to these workspaces, and moving users from the “Default Workspace” configuration to these newer, limited-access workspaces.
Customers can use these workspaces to separate access to different teams by region, by business unit, by site section, or via any other method they choose.
Users can be part of multiple workspaces and can even have different roles within each workspace.
-
In the Admin Console, click Products, then select the name of the desired product.
-
Create the desired workspace (Product Profile):
-
Default Access: All existing activities will be merged into a single project called “Default Access.” This will have no impact on customers. All user roles and functionality will remain exactly the same as they are prior to this change.
All activities created via Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Adobe Mobile Services, and Target Classic will also be part of the “Default Access” workspace. You cannot currently move projects from “Default Access” to another project.
-
New workspaces (Product Profiles): You can begin taking advantage of the new permissions functionality by doing the following:
- Creating new workspaces within the Admin Console for Enterprise.
- Assigning Target properties to the workspaces.
You can use these workspaces to divide access to different teams by region, business unit, site section, or via any other method you choose. Users can be part of multiple workspaces and can have different roles within each workspace.
-
-
Follow the instructions in Create and Manage Product Configurations in the Enterprise User Guide.
Obtain your workspace ID
You’ll need to pass the workspace ID to leverage Enterprise Permissions in Target APIs.
-
In the Adobe Admin Console, click the Products tab, then click the product in the left menu to display the PLC(workspace) list.
-
Click the desired PLC(workspace), then locate the “profiles” ID in the URL, as shown below.
Step 3. Create user groups (Optional)
You can create user groups, such as Developers, Analysts, Marketers, Executives, etc., and then assign privileges across multiple Adobe products and workspaces. Assigning a new team member all the appropriate privileges across different Adobe products can be as easy as adding them to a specific user group.
- In the Admin Console, click the Users tab at the top of the page > User Groups to create new user groups or to edit existing groups.
- Follow the instructions in Manage Users and Groups of a Product Configuration in the Enterprise User Guide.
Step 4. Create properties
Properties are enabled by adding a specific name/value pair as a parameter with any call (Target call, api call, etc.) to Target.
Properties belong to specific channels (Web, Mobile, Email, and API/Other).
Tip: See the training video below for more information about how to create properties.
-
In Target, click Administration > Properties to display the Properties list.
-
Click Create Property.
Fill in the fields:
- Property Name (Required): Specify a descriptive name for the property.
- Description: Specify an optional description for the property.
- Channel: Select the desired channel for the property: Web, Mobile App, Email, or Other/API (for example a set-top box or PlayStation console).
-
Click Copy to copy the code to your clipboard that you’ll use while performing the steps in 5: Update Your Implementation to Include the at_property Parameter.
-
Click Save when done.
