Adobe performs the authentication and the end user manages the identity. Users retain complete control over files and data associated with their ID. Users can purchase additional products and services from Adobe. Admins invite users to join the organization, and can remove them. However, users cannot be locked out from their Adobe ID accounts. And the accounts can't be deleted or taken over by the admin. Adobe has several ways to manage user identities with Creative Cloud.

What is an Adobe Enterprise ID?An Enterprise ID is created and owned by OCAD U, and linked to the OCAD U authentication system, so that you can use your same OCAD U username and password to log in to a service. There are some caveats to using an Adobe Enterprise ID, as it is a different and distinct identity from your personal Adobe ID.
