Frequently asked questions.

I have an Adobe Admin Console already, do I need a new one for Adobe Express?
Good news, you do not need a new console but can access Adobe Express within your existing Adobe Admin Console. Login to https://adminconsole.adobe.com and then click on Products and select Adobe Express.
My school is not using Google or Microsoft Azure – can I still give access to Adobe Express to my students?
Google Workspace or Google are simple to synchronize users and enable Single Sign-On. You can use another SAML-based authentication. There is another method known as Enterprise IDs. This requires you to prove ownership of a domain and upload users via CSV. The users will be sent an invite to their email addresses. Their password is stored with Adobe and may require 2-factor authentication for logging in.
Can the school use generic user accounts and share them?
Adobe Express relies on each user having their individual access. Multiple logins to the same account may trigger two factor authentication codes to be entered to login. There is also the risk of documents being deleted or edited by others using the same account.
Do I need to install/deploy the software to the computers?
No, Adobe Express is browser-based. Students and teachers simply need to login at https://express.adobe.com/sp/, login, and they can start creating.
What is the privacy policy?
Adobe takes student data privacy very seriously. Please visit https://www.adobe.com/privacy/student-policy.html to view our privacy policies and learn more about how our deployment process protects your students’ data.
