Custom font permissions for end-users in Enterprise environment

Question

Hi everyone,

Our creative team has CC licences within an enterprise structure. We recently moved to Adobe Fonts as our font manager which has worked well, except for being able to add fonts we have purchased that are not available on Adobe Fonts. With Extensis, end-user designers were able to add fonts indepent from IT but with Adobe Fonts we have to submit a request to IT to add custom fonts for us, which can sometimes take several days.

Are there enterprise CC settings that would allow creative cloud end-users to have custom font addition permissions without having to assign a permission level that IT would not allow? Our creative team doesn't need high level admin access for anything other than this one custom font addition licence.

Thank you!

Hi @Lynne24792067hiinWe have the same setup (Adobe Fonts, Extensis Universal Type Client) - I was confused at first - did you get rid of Extensis and are now only relying on Adobe Fonts? I wouldn't recommend it.We still use Extensis as our main font manager - Adobe Fonts can activate and yes can have hosted custom fonts, but we've found that the controls at the user and Admin level for fonts is better managed with UTC/Extensis.We can still activate Adobe Fonts without IT management and maintain control of our custom fonts.
