Adobe Sync

Adobe Sync Process Overview

---

• Ability to Sync Cloudwork’s Users, Groups and Group members into Adobe for creating, updating and deleting accounts.
• There is no need to implement licences for each user manually. Once all users and groups are synced from Cloudwork into Adobe, the admin can simply assign a licence profile to a group in the Adobe Admin Console, and all group members will obtain the licence. Note: Cloudwork does not handle Adobe’s licenses.
• For the initial setup, Cloudwork’s Adobe Sync will check the existing Adobe Users against Cloudwork users. If the email matches, it will link both accounts.
• Suspended Options for Cloudwork Users. The options are to either be removed from the Adobe Organization, removed from the Adobe Organization and delete the account permanently, or ignored.
• Syncs run daily at 3 AM.
  • Viewing Adobe Sync Status:
    • Cloudwork Adobe Sync Configuration: Overall status of Users and Groups Sync
    • Reports: Detailed provisioning report for successful and unsuccessful syncs, including error logs
    • User Profile: Sync status for the individual user. Adobe’s Sync Status will only be visible if the user is part of the selected OU in the Cloudwork Adobe Sync Configuration.

You can force all users to be included in the sync by clicking on OU Selections's edit and submit and then clicking on “Force Sync Adobe”. This will force all users from these selected OUs to be set to pending and processed by Adobe Sync.
