Prepare Adobe Creative Cloud connector

The Adobe Creative Cloud connector retrieves information about subscriptions and users. For information about collection of user activity, see Activity for Adobe Creative Cloud.

In Adobe Developer Console, you are required to set up an Adobe Creative Cloud project and add an API. You are also required to generate a certificate and a private key. Retrieve Technical account ID, Client ID, client secret, and Organization ID and enter these values, together with the content of the private key file, in Settings when adding the connector.

Prerequisites

An Adobe ID account with System Administrator permissions is required for the API authentication. The Adobe ID consists of a username and a password.
