Administrator first steps
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.

If your organization has a Target Standard license, see Specify roles and permissions in Users.
If your organization has a Target Premium license, see Step 6: Specify roles and permissions in Configure enterprise permissions.
Your next step should be to set up users in Target Standard and Target Premium. For more information, see User management.
Permissions required for editing Administration settings
Before April 22, 2025: Users with Approvers rights in the Adobe Admin Console can edit or change all settings on the Administration page page of Target, regardless of their Target role.
Effective April 22, 2025: Only Product and Solutions admins will be able to update settings in the Administration sections, regardless of their roles in Target workspaces. Users without this permission will have read-only access to the Administration sections.
This update enhances organizational control over Target instance configurations, preventing accidental updates that could affect activity delivery across various testing and personalization teams.
