This article contains the first steps Adobe Target administrators should take after receiving the emailed invitation to the Adobe Experience Cloud.
Get invited to Target
A system administrator in the Adobe Admin Console must add you as a user in Target by inviting you to join. The system administrator should then add you to one or more role-specific groups. Both of these tasks are performed in the Adobe Admin Console.
For more information, see Manage Experience Cloud users and products in the Experience Cloud and Core Services help.
You will receive an invitation email after the system administrator has performed these steps.
