Share Adobe Creative Cloud Access Safely (Teams, Licenses, and File Links)

Why password sharing breaks Creative Cloud

Adobe accounts hold not just apps, but also libraries, fonts, cloud files, billing, and brand assets. Shared logins trigger license conflicts and destroy audit trails.

Use Teams licenses

• Invite by email with a named license instead of sharing one login.
• Reassign licenses easily when freelancers roll off.
• Limit admin roles—only billing or IT should hold them.

File sharing hygiene

• Share libraries/files via links with expiry dates and passwords where possible.
• Watermark drafts and remove metadata before sending externally. Guide: Redact Sensitive Info.
• Disable link previews in chat when sending sensitive links: Stop Unfurls.

Onboarding & offboarding

1. Verify freelancer/agency identity before invite. Habit: Verify Links.
2. Assign a license with the least privilege needed (no admin unless required).
3. Enable MFA for all accounts—especially admins and creatives handling sensitive assets.
4. Revoke license and remove shared links when the engagement ends. Checklist: Employee Offboarding.
