Issue with Adobe Express plug-in error in ChatGPT

We are experiencing an issue with the Adobe Express integration for ChatGPT for one of our managed Creative Cloud users.

The user has a valid Creative Cloud license and Adobe Express shows the account as a Premium member. We have confirmed that the user can access Adobe Express normally at express.adobe.com using the correct company-managed Adobe account.

We also tested animation directly within Adobe Express. Animation works successfully when performed in the Adobe Express web application.

However, when the same Adobe account attempts to animate an Adobe Express design through the Adobe Express integration in ChatGPT, Adobe consistently returns:

“The account type doesn't allow access to the requested operation. Please contact your administrator for next steps.”

Error code: `INVALID_ARGUMENT`

We have already:

* Confirmed the correct managed Adobe account is being used.
* Confirmed Adobe Express Premium access.
* Confirmed animation works directly within Adobe Express.
* Disconnected and reauthenticated the Adobe Express integration.
* Triggered fresh Adobe authentication using a newly shared design.
* Confirmed the integration can access the Adobe Express document.
* Confirmed the failure occurs specifically when the connector attempts the animation operation.

Adobe request IDs from repeated attempts:

* `48742de3-751f-4e7d-8182-645a2d5154c6`
* `34fd8895-4be4-45a3-a4df-d97db7d16f4e`
* `8f010c74-08cf-425a-808d-ae915d6d49c4`
* `e3fb3306-d230-4542-a8a1-cb835be8ff8b`

Could you please determine:

1. Which Adobe account type or entitlement is required for Adobe Express animation through the ChatGPT integration?
2. Whether Creative Cloud for Teams/Enterprise managed identities are supported for this operation.
3. Whether there is an Adobe Admin Console setting, service entitlement, API permission, or organization-level policy that must be enabled.
4. Why this user's account is authorized to perform animation directly in Adobe Express but is rejected when the same operation is invoked through the ChatGPT integration.

Please escalate this to the team responsible for the Adobe Express ChatGPT integration/API if necessary.

Thank you.

    Hi ​@isaiah_1547, 

     

    Thank you for your patience and for sharing your feedback with us. Feedback like this helps us improve, and we apologize for the troubled experience.

    We were able to verify that this behavior is currently expected with the Adobe Express integration in ChatGPT.

    At this time, animation and some edit operations in the Adobe Express connector are not yet supported for Teams or Enterprise-managed Adobe accounts, even when the user has Adobe Express Premium access and can complete the same action directly in the Adobe Express web app.

    That is why animation works in Adobe Express itself, but returns an account-type error when the same action is attempted through ChatGPT.

    As a workaround, the user can continue completing the animation directly in Adobe Express. We also recognize that the current public documentation does not clearly call out this limitation, and that feedback has been forwarded for review.

    Feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

      Hi ​@isaiah_1547,

      Thanks for the exceptionally clear write-up. You've isolated this well: the account, the Premium access, the auth, and document access all check out, and the failure sits specifically on the animation call through the connector. The request IDs you've captured are exactly what's needed to trace it.

      You've done the right diagnostic work here, so there's nothing further we need you to test on your end for now. I've sent you a private message asking for a few account details, please check and reply there when you get a chance. We'll review this on our side once we have those and follow up on this thread.

      Thanks,
      ^AV
