WHAT IS ADOBE COMMERCE HELP CENTER?

Welcome to Adobe Commerce Help Center! We are here to help solve your Adobe Commerce issues quickly and efficiently.

Adobe Commerce Help Center is the Knowledge Base and the Ticketing System. This document shows how to use both of them.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

When you access the Help Center, you first get to the Adobe Commerce Knowledge Base.

What is Knowledge Base?

The Adobe Commerce Support Knowledge Base is a collection of articles based on the support tickets that Adobe Commerce Customers or Partners submit.

Every Knowledge Base article covers a real-life issue or question and may be viewed as a reply to a submitted support ticket helping others to solve a similar problem.

Knowledge Base does not replace DevDocs or User Guide

The information in the Knowledge Base is designed as complementary to DevDocs, the User Guide, and other Adobe Commerce publications, and only covers troubleshooting, best practices, hosts announcements, answers FAQ's, or highlights specific scenarios that have not been mentioned (for any reason) in the official documentation.

Search for articles

You can search for articles using the Search field on any page of the Knowledge Base.

All articles in the Knowledge Base are grouped into Categories. They are:

  • Announcements: articles with timely news and helpful information.
  • Best Practices: articles with recommended techniques and procedures that are prescribed as most effective.
  • Troubleshooting: articles that show how to solve a particular issue. For example, if you cannot perform an operation because of an error message, this is where you might find the solution.
  • How To: articles with detailed steps on how to perform a particular operation.
  • FAQ: answers to the most common, frequently asked questions.

SHARED ACCESS: GRANT PRIVILEGES FOR OTHER USERS TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT

You may grant limited access to your account for other Magento Account holders. In particular, using the shared access functionality, you may provide privileges for trusted employees and service providers to use your Help Center account so that they could work with your support tickets.

Who can provide shared access

Only the Account Owner (Primary Account Holder) with the according privileges can provide shared access for other users.

Managing users and their access is the customer's responsibility, especially in the shared access perspective. Thus, the Adobe Commerce support team cannot provide shared access to a Magento Account on behalf of a Customer. Customers are encouraged to add users with shared access themselves, using the Magento Account page.

Users who have been provided with shared access cannot transfer or grant such access to other users.
