Creating the service connection for Adobe Data Provider

Overview

The integration option is available for Adobe enterprise customers only (Creative Cloud for enterprise plans).

A service connection allows you to establish access to the Adobe User Management API and obtain data from it without sharing the credentials. A service connection is configured once by an administrator and then it can automatically use a service for obtaining data.

The Adobe Data Provider add-on contains an Adobe service. This service is needed for creating a service connection to Adobe User Management API.

To create a service connection, take the following steps:

  1. Configure the authentication and authorization settings for integration in the Adobe admin console.
  2. Create a tenant in Enterprise Service Management.
  3. Create a service connection in Enterprise Service Management.

A DWP subsciption is required to be able to use the Adobe Data Provider add-on.

To configure the integration settings for Adobe, you will need to register your Enterprise Service Management application in the console.

Registering a project

  1. On the Adobe Developer Console home page, click Create new project.
  2. In the Get started section of your new project, click Add API.
  3. Search and select the User Management API.
