Admin Console - product request mechanism enhancements
One of my users requested a new license for Adobe software. We didn't have any licenses available, so we went through our procurement process and purchased the license. In the meantime my boss and I were spammed with request reminder emails.
Having purchased the license, I assigned it to the user who requested it. The emails continued and I found that the request hadn't gone away from the Admin Console.
The chat representative said maybe the user requested it more than once. I can't be sure which problem prevented the request form going away (I only ever saw one request) but both of these things should be guaranteed in the Admin Console:
1. If a user requests the same software out of the Creative Cloud app more than once, all such requests should fold into the same request. Or even more strictly, users shouldn't be allowed to make multiple requests for the same product.
2. If an admin assigns a user a license for a product they requested, the corresponding request should go away.
The workaround, which is what I'm going to do going forward, is to deny all such requests as "not the correct request mechanism".
