Feature Request: Streamlined User Profile Switching in Creative Cloud

Dear Adobe Creative Cloud Team,

 

I am writing to suggest a feature enhancement for the Creative Cloud desktop application to improve the user experience for individuals who frequently work with multiple Adobe accounts or profiles.

 

Problem:

Currently, the Creative Cloud application requires users to fully sign out of one account before signing in to another. This is a time-consuming and disruptive process, especially for users who need to switch between accounts multiple times during a workflow. This process interrupts work and can be frustrating.

 

Proposed Solution:

I propose implementing a "Switch Profile" or "Account Switcher" feature within the Creative Cloud desktop application. This feature would allow users to:

  • Save and store multiple Adobe account credentials within the application.
  • Quickly switch between these saved accounts without the need to fully sign out and sign back in.
  • Potentially, offer an option to have multiple profiles logged in simultaneously (if technically feasible) or a very fast swap.

 

Benefits:

  • Improved Workflow Efficiency: Significantly reduce the time and effort required to switch between accounts, leading to a smoother and more productive workflow.
  • Enhanced User Experience: Provide a more seamless and user-friendly experience, reducing frustration associated with account management.
  • Increased Accessibility: Make it easier for users with different needs or roles (e.g., freelancers, educators, agencies) to manage their various Adobe identities.

 

Use Cases:

  • Freelancers working on projects for different clients, each with separate Adobe accounts.
  • Educators using personal accounts and institutional accounts.
  • Designers in agencies who need to access client-specific assets or libraries.
  • Users managing personal and business accounts.

 

I believe that implementing a streamlined profile switching feature would be a valuable improvement to the Creative Cloud desktop application, greatly benefiting a wide range of users.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Hi @harisillahi,

 

Welcome to the community! Thanks for reaching out! 

 

Here is a potential workaround which you can try:

 

  1. Create a Secondary User Profile on the OS:
  • On Mac or Windows, create a second user account (e.g., “Work Adobe”).

  • Log into that account using the employer-provided A
