Platform-based administration differences (۶Ƶ Workfront/۶Ƶ Business Platform)

As an ۶Ƶ Workfront administrator, your administration responsibilities and procedures may differ based on whether your organization has been onboarded to the ۶Ƶ Business Platform. This article lists the procedures that are handled differently, and links to instructions for both Workfront and the ۶Ƶ Admin Console.

If your organization has been onboarded to the ۶Ƶ Business Platform, your users use the ۶Ƶ Business Platform to access ۶Ƶ Workfront. This means that:

  • System administrators are created through the ۶Ƶ Admin Console
  • Renewing an SAML certificate is handled through the ۶Ƶ Admin Console.
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) is handled through the ۶Ƶ Business Platform instead of through Workfront

Create Workfront system administrators in the ۶Ƶ Admin Console

NOTE
We recommend adding non-system administrator users directly in Workfront. It is possible to add users in the ۶Ƶ Admin Console, but adding them in Workfront allows you to set their access level while creating them, which can save you time.

For instruction on creating Workfront system administrators, see Manage system administrators in the ۶Ƶ Admin Console.

Renew the SAML certificate

For instructions on renewing the SAML certificate on the ۶Ƶ Admin Console, see the section “The digital signature in the SAML response did not validate…” in

SSO (Single Sign-On)

Because the ۶Ƶ Business Platform controls Single Sign-On (SSO) for users, the following actions and functionality are handled automatically through the ۶Ƶ Business Platform. If your organization has not yet been onboarded to the ۶Ƶ Business Platform, you must perform these actions in Workfront.
