Who have migrated to Adobe Admin Console?

I've taken a look at the site that was referenced by support : The new Workfront experience | Platform-based administration differences (Adobe Workfront/Adobe Business Platform), if this was to replace our admin console, one of the biggest issue I'd have is the login as feature which greatly helps us see what the users are having trouble with. So I'm asking you who have migrated, do you have the login as somewhere else or is that fully taken away?

Also, what does that mean for SSO? you'd have 2 applications now that need to connect to SSO?

I too received the Immediate Action Required Email with a case #. I had absolutely no clue what they were talking about. After several emails back and forth with Customer Support, the last response was:

Thank you for confirming. Since your company does not have an Adobe Org ID, you will not need to take any further action at this time, and we will plan to create an Adobe Org ID for you and your company. As we move closer to future stages of the Adobe Experience League Migration, I will reach out to you again via this ticket with any additional action items.

We need more context and a better explanation. Perhaps Immediate Action Required referred to just sending a response back to support one way or another 😉.

Thanks for posting about this - we've been struggling to get more information about what this will entail from Support (which has not responded to my email) and our account rep (who didn't have too much info to share beyond what was in the initial support email/announcement). We have close to 1,000 users accessing Workfront via SSO, and only a couple dozen use Adobe Creative Cloud. They're spread amongst multiple Adobe IMS Orgs depending on department, and none use SSO with Adobe. Reading the linked support documents, two big concerns jump out for us in addition to the basic mechanism of what the SSO sign-in experience will be:

What is the onboarding experience like for new users? Can new users be auto-provisioned via SSO like they currently can in Workfront?

The support documents mention "log in as" is not supported with Adobe - that is a function we use a lot for both support and for ensuring our layouts/permissions/etc. work as expected

for our users when deploying updates. Losing that function would be a big issue and force us to seriously adjust some of our admin/support workflows.

Hoping a lot more information is forthcoming from Adobe/Workfront on this issue. Not really looking forward right now to implementing this change, as it feels like there will be a lot of unintended consequences which will degrade the Workfront experience.

Does anyone know if the migration can be delayed? is there timelines they expect it to happen in?

Hi @jaxelle,

 

I invite you to join this more recent conversation about Migration to the Adobe IMS Console, under which I'm striving to centralize Q&A's.

 

Regards,

Doug

Customer support said the login as will remain on Workfront. What that means, I don't know. I am just crossing my fingers that the functionality will remain the way I expect it to and how I use it to troubleshoot user issues. As to SSO, they never really got back fully to me with that - he said, another SSO configuration will likely need to be in place but he needs to verify internally and well, left it at that. That was April 1 and no other communication from the support person after.

Now, we do have a meeting with the people guiding this tomorrow so I hope we'll get answers and whether this is optional. I am concerned about moving and letting Adobe have our users information although they are not creative cloud users.

@Polly Co‚ - I'd be really interested to hear how your meeting goes with the vendor. I requested a meeting on the support ticket that they opened, but received the following:

Due to the scale of this effort to reach across our client base, we are currently unable to allocate resources for meetings regarding this topic. However, you're more than welcome to provide any questions you have here, and we will follow up with more information as soon as possible.

I replied to the ticket on 04/14/22 with multiple questions, etc.; so far I have not heard back.

That was the same "we don't do meetings on this one" message I received.

Interestingly enough, I received a reply from Support today. I was told they are only migrating Workfront One and the support platform to Adobe Experience League at this point, and that it will not impact our existing SSO configuration for Workfront. At some "much later date" they will meet with us to discuss making sure our SSO configuration is maintained when migrating Workfront to Adobe IMS. So it sounds like any impact on core Workfront is still down the road somewhat.

I received a response late yesterday also with this same information.

Ok, so apparently there's two migrations that are supposed to happen - Experience League and the Adobe Admin Console. From what I understand, Experience League is off the table until further notice. The Adobe Admin Console's timeline is 18 months.

Login As from our systems administrator view will work as is on the Workfront UI.

SSO will have to move connection from Workfront to the Adobe side.

Now, if you want to keep Workfront Administration away from the team that handles your other Adobe products, you will have to have your own Adobe Enterprise ID (or ask them to create it for you) which I believe most of us here in the discussion will be doing anyway.

Currently, this is optional (I guess up to that 18 month period). For those who will go ahead and do this soon, please update us of your experience! 😁

I've let them know they really should have more documentation about these as there's quite a confusion on what's being asked for and they said they're in the process of updating them.
