Platform-based administration differences (Adobe Workfront/Adobe Business Platform)
As an Adobe Workfront administrator, your administration responsibilities and procedures may differ based on whether your organization has been onboarded to the Adobe Business Platform. This article lists the procedures that are handled differently, and links to instructions for both Workfront and the Adobe Admin Console.
If your organization has been onboarded to the Adobe Business Platform, your users use the Adobe Business Platform to access Adobe Workfront. This means that:
- System administrators are created through the Adobe Admin Console
- Renewing an SAML certificate is handled through the Adobe Admin Console.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) is handled through the Adobe Business Platform instead of through Workfront
Create Workfront system administrators in the Adobe Admin Console
For instruction on creating Workfront system administrators, see Manage system administrators in the Adobe Admin Console.
Renew the SAML certificate
For instructions on renewing the SAML certificate on the Adobe Admin Console, see the section “The digital signature in the SAML response did not validate…” in Troubleshooting Federated ID
SSO (Single Sign-On)
Because the Adobe Business Platform controls Single Sign-On (SSO) for users, the following actions and functionality are handled automatically through the Adobe Business Platform. If your organization has not yet been onboarded to the Adobe Business Platform, you must perform these actions in Workfront.
- Configure Adobe Workfront with SAML 2.0
- Configure Adobe Workfront with SAML 2.0 using ADFS
- Deactivate single sign-on in Adobe Workfront
- Update SAML 2.0 metadata in your identity provider
- Update users for single sign-on
- Configure password policies for authentication
- Configure system security preferences
