# Adobe Admin Console

The Advanced Identity Cloud Adobe Admin Console application lets you manage users, groups, and user group memberships between Adobe Admin Console and Advanced Identity Cloud. This application requires an Adobe Admin Console administrator account and a properly configured Adobe Admin Console.

## Register the application

1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to Applications, and click [icon: grid_view, set=material, size=inline] Browse App Catalog.

2. In the Browse App Catalog modal, select an application, and click Next.

3. Review the Application Integration information, and click Next.

4. In the Application Details window, specify the name, description, application owners, and logo for the application.

5. To make the application an [Authoritative](../applications.html#target_and_authoritative_applications) source of identity data, select the Authoritative check box. This option is not available for every application.

6. Click Create Application.

| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | The steps for configuring Adobe Admin Console should be used as an outline, as the specific options, menus, and features could have changed. |

Before you can configure the Advanced Identity Cloud application, you must create and configure a project in Adobe Admin Console. You need an Adobe Admin Console developer account to complete this procedure:

1. Create or log in to an [Adobe Admin Console developer account](https://developer.adobe.com/console/home/).

2. From the Adobe Developer Console, click the [Projects tab](https://developer.adobe.com/console/projects), and then click Create new project.

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Create a project in the Adobe Developer Console](../_images/adobe-admin-console-create-project.png)

3. On the Project Name page, click Add API.

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Adobe Developer Console, add API](../_images/adobe-admin-console-add-api.png)

4. In the Add an API window, select User Management API, and click Next.

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Adobe Admin Console, Add User Management API](../_images/adobe-admin-console-add-user-mgmt-api.png)

5. In the Add Credential area, select OAuth Server-to-Server, enter a Credential name, and then click Save configured API.

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Add credential area of the Add an API flow](../_images/adobe-admin-console-api-credential.png)

6. On the Project Name > User Management API page, in the Connected credentials area, click the credential you just added (OAuth Server-to-Server).

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Adobe Developer Console, connected credentials](../_images/adobe-admin-console-connected-credentials.png)

7. From the Credential detail tab, make note of the following:

   * CLIENT ID

   * CLIENT SECRET

   * SCOPES

   * ORGANIZATION ID

   > **Collapse: Show Me**
   >
   > ![Adobe Developer Console, credentials tab](../_images/adobe-admin-console-credentials-tab.png)
