Understanding DPS accounts
When you subscribe to the Digital Publishing Suite, one account from your company is assigned the Administrator role. This is called the master
account. The master account does not appear in the Account Administration tool. You cannot remove or edit the master account. You cannot use
the master account as an Application account; use a different Adobe ID for publishing folios.
When you use the master account to sign in to the Account Administration tool, you can assign delegate roles to other accounts. A delegate role is
directly tied to the master account. Each delegate account requires its own email address. You can assign delegate roles based on an existing
Adobe ID which has not yet been verified to work with DPS, or you can create a new delegate Adobe ID based on an existing email account.
However, you cannot create a delegate account from an Adobe ID that has already been verified to work with DPS.
Once an Adobe ID (and its associated email address) is used for a delegate account, it is difficult to untie the Adobe ID from the delegate account.
Be cautious about using individuals’ email addresses for delegate accounts. Once you use an Adobe ID as a delegate account, that Adobe
ID can be used for digital publishing only with your company. Removing the Adobe ID disables it from using any DPS features.
An Adobe ID that is not assigned to any specify company account is called a designer account. Designer accounts can be created at
To change an email account associated with an Adobe ID, see

Types of delegate roles
After you add a delegate account to your company, you can assign as many as three roles to that account.
The master account is assigned the Administrator role, but you can assign the Administrator role to other accounts. An account
that is assigned an Administrator role can use the Account Administration tool.
