Adobe SaaS Ops Integration

Auvik SaaS Management’s integration with Adobe allows you to see real-time, in-depth license data to help you maintain control over your software usage and spend. This includes a breakdown by license type, associated usage details, and last login timestamps.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Adobe integration, ensure that you have:

• Required Auvik SaaS permissions to install integrations
  • From the Partner Hub: Default Admin
  • From the Client Hub: Client Admin
• A valid account for Adobe with System Administrator privileges required
• Access to the Adobe Developer Console

We recommend using a dedicated account with all integrations. This allows you to set a role with minimal permissions. The integration will stop working if this user’s account in Adobe is deactivated.

Configuration & Setup

The Adobe integration can be configured using OAuth2 protocol. 

When Authenticating using OAuth;

The configuration process requires you to setup a New Project and API to create a unique ClientID, Client Secret and Organizational ID that will be used to setup the integration.

2. Select your organization (if prompted) > Projects tab

   3. Organization ID: The Org ID (sometimes called Organization ID or IMS Org ID)
