Sandbox Shenanigans - Reminding Users to Check Workfront Environments

For your Friday amusement, in case anyone else has had a long week too -  

 

In the Spiderman comic books, Uncle Ben famously tells Peter Parker -  'With great power comes great responsibility'. Alas, I did not benefit from having an Uncle Ben, so my paraphrased saying goes, 'With great power comes occasional shenanigans...'.

 

Professional Use-Case: As part of rolling out the Adobe Admin Console, I granted all users in my instance access to our sandbox environment to make sure they had established their Adobe IDs prior to migration of our production instance. While this idea worked well, and allowed us to troubleshoot issues prior to the full roll-out, it also left me worried that some of my team might accidentally continue accessing the sandbox environment and lose the work they had completed there. In theory, I could have waited until we launched production and simply revoked their access to the sandbox, but I wanted to leave that available for training and testing purposes too. So that left me with the dilemma - how to make it absolutely clear 'This is not the environment you're looking for...'

 

One goofy meme generator later, and this is the landing page on every Layout Template in my sandbox environment today. 

 

Have a good weekend, hope this at least got a laugh!

😂 This is brilliant and honestly, painfully relatable. The Admin Console rollout logic makes total sense, and the risk you’re calling out is one of those “everything works perfectly… until it doesn’t” scenarios we’ve all worried about with sandbox access.

Curious, have you found that humor-based guardrails like this work better than stricter controls or banners in your experience, or is this more of a “depends on the audience” situation in your org?
