Adobe

Integrating Adobe with vScope allows you to view Product Plan assignments, Adobe Users, and Groups. By combining Adobe data with assets from Active Directory, Google Workspace, and Office 365, you’ll gain a more comprehensive view of licensing across your organization. vScope currently supports Service Account (JWT) authentication for Adobe integration.

By following these steps, you’ll enable Adobe integration in vScope, giving you enhanced visibility over Adobe licensing and user data.
