Adobe Enterprise Sign In "Access Denied"

My school gives all of its students Adobe Photoshop CC and Illustrator, but when I try to sign into my account, an error pops up reading:

 

"Access Denied. You do not have access to this service. Contact your IT administrator to gain access, or sign in with an Adobe ID."

 

The sign in page recognizes my email, I think, but It always shows this message, with both softwares.

 

I just want to know if there's a problem with my account or some error that Adobe could fix, or if I just need to ask a person working at my school about my Adobe account, like if I don't have access to Photoshop (which wouldn't make much sense, because one of my friends have been using it).

 

Thanks 🙂

Hello,
If you are using the Federated ID to login to Adobe applications and getting access denied then there could be some issue with your ID created by your organization.

You may share the SAML logs using Firefox with me via private message and I can have a look.

Hi there, 

 

I'm having the exact same problem. My uni provides Adobe creative cloud for its students, and whenever I try to access Adobe Spark I get the same 'access denied' message. Can you help me?
