To train admins of Adobe InDesign, start by providing an overview of the software’s features and capabilities. Familiarize them with the user interface, tools, and functions.

Regularly update admins on software updates and new features to ensure they stay up-to-date.

To set up user permissions in Adobe InDesign, start by opening the software and navigating to the “Preferences” menu. From there, select “Security” and click on “User Permissions.” Here, you can create different user groups and assign specific permissions to each group.
