TL;DR Admins can now search for inactive users in the Admin Console using their email address, username, first name, or last name. This makes it easier to locate a specific inactive user when you don't have their exact email on hand. Why this matters Previously, finding a specific inactive user required knowing their exact email address or manually paging through the Inactive Users list, which is impractical for organizations with a high volume of inactive accounts. This has been a frequently requested improvement from admins managing storage governance at scale. With this update, the search field now accepts email addresses, usernames, first names, or last names. Once you locate the user, you can act on their folder using the same options available today. What you need to know  Search by email, username, first name, or last name is available directly from Storage > Individual user folders > Inactive Users.  Search may return no results in a few specific cases: if the user's inf

 TL;DR Federated Guest Access (FGA) is now generally available. It allows enterprise customers to onboard external partners, agency staff, vendors, consultants, as federated users, without requiring ownership of their email domain. This feature is available to organizations that purchased an enterprise plan directly from Adobe and have at least one active federated directory. If that's not your setup, this capability won't appear in your Admin Console yet.  What changed  Previously, creating a Federated ID user required your organization to own the user's email domain. That meant you couldn't add anyone using a non-claimable domain, such as gmail.com, or a domain claimed by another organization as a Federated ID user. In practice, this blocked a common scenario: bringing an external vendor or consultant into your Adobe environment under the same SSO and authentication policy you use for employees.  FGA removes that restriction. You can now add a user with any email address as a federat
