Adobe Workfront - OpenText Identity and Access Management Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Adobe Workfront and OpenText Identity and Access Management

1. Automated user provisioning for Workfront project teams

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Adobe Workfront

When employees are added to marketing, creative, or agency teams in OpenText Identity and Access Management, their Workfront accounts can be created automatically with the correct role, license, and group membership. This reduces manual onboarding effort and ensures users get access to the right projects and workspaces on day one.

• Automatically assign project manager, reviewer, contributor, or requester roles
• Reduce delays in campaign kickoff caused by manual account setup
• Improve compliance by aligning access with HR or identity records

2. Role based access control for campaign and creative workflows

Data flow: Bi directional

Workfront project roles can be mapped to identity and access policies in OpenText Identity and Access Management so users only see the projects, proofs, and approvals relevant to their responsibilities. This is especially useful for organizations managing multiple brands, regions, or business units with strict separation of duties.

• Limit access to sensitive launch plans, budgets, or creative assets
• Enforce reviewer versus approver permissions consistently
• Support brand, region, or business unit level access segmentation

3. Single sign on for marketing and creative operations users

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Adobe Workfront

Integrating Workfront with OpenText Identity and Access Management enables single sign on for internal teams, agencies, and contractors. Users authenticate once through the enterprise identity layer and access Workfront without separate credentials, improving usability while strengthening security.

• Reduce password resets and login related support tickets
• Improve adoption for distributed creative and marketing teams
• Centralize authentication policy enforcement, including MFA where required

4. Automated deprovisioning when employees or contractors leave

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Adobe Workfront

When a user is terminated, transferred, or a contractor engagement ends, OpenText Identity and Access Management can trigger removal or suspension of the corresponding Workfront account. This prevents former users from accessing active campaigns, proofs, or confidential content and reduces security risk.

• Disable access immediately based on identity lifecycle events
• Prevent orphaned accounts in active project spaces
• Support audit and compliance requirements for access removal

5. Access recertification for active project and approval participants

Data flow: Adobe Workfront ? OpenText Identity and Access Management

Workfront can provide information about active users, project assignments, and approval participation to OpenText Identity and Access Management for periodic access reviews. Security and business owners can validate whether users still need access to specific workspaces, reducing access creep across long running campaigns and programs.

• Review access for seasonal staff, agencies, and external reviewers
• Identify dormant or unnecessary Workfront accounts
• Support governance for regulated or high visibility marketing programs

6. Secure external collaborator access for agencies and freelancers

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Adobe Workfront

Organizations often rely on agencies, freelancers, and production partners to execute creative work. OpenText Identity and Access Management can manage temporary identities and limited access policies for these external users, while Workfront provides controlled access to assigned tasks, proofs, and deliverables only.

• Issue time bound access for campaign specific collaboration
• Restrict external users to approved projects and assets
• Reduce risk when working with multiple vendors across regions

7. Centralized audit trail for user access and workflow participation

Data flow: Bi directional

By combining identity events from OpenText Identity and Access Management with activity data from Workfront, organizations can build a more complete audit trail of who accessed what, when they were granted access, and how they participated in approvals or production workflows. This is valuable for compliance, internal controls, and incident investigations.

• Correlate identity changes with project access history
• Track approver identity for regulated content approvals
• Improve visibility into cross functional collaboration

8. Faster onboarding for new campaign teams and product launch squads

Data flow: OpenText Identity and Access Management ? Adobe Workfront

For new product launches or major campaigns, identity driven onboarding can automatically place users into the correct Workfront groups, templates, and workspaces based on department, region, or job function. This helps teams start work immediately with the right permissions and workflow assignments already in place.

• Pre assign access to launch templates and standard project structures
• Reduce setup time for recurring campaign teams
• Improve consistency across global marketing operations
