Hi all,
I am trying to write a bash script for logging out of adobe creative cloud desktop app.
I could not find anything solid on google or any other websites.
So any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

    Why do you want to log out of CC Desktop app?

    Running

    osascript -e 'tell application "Adobe Desktop Service" to quit'

    ..as either the logged in user, sudo -u that user, or from root returns:

    44:48: execution error: Adobe Desktop Service got an error: User canceled. (-128)

    ..but does close the Adobe Creative Cloud utility regardless of whether it was still attached to the menu bar or opened as a separate window.

    Has anyone figured this out for CC2019 using Shared Device Licensing? Over 75% of our iMacs are classroom computers where students log in with AD accounts.

      I am also looking for a solution to log out of creative cloud on log off. I found this: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/32615/adobe-cc-shared-lab-log-out-issues

      The login looks to be stored as a Secure Note inside the Keychain. I cannot seem to find a way to delete Secure Notes from Terminal without deleting the whole login keychain.

      @andrew.shur Oh, thanks.. I'm going to test this today. If that works you saved me a headache in a lab.
