Creative Cloud notification "Administration rights are required-" but nowhere to enter credentials

I told Creative Cloud (the menubar balloon) to go ahead and install CC 2014 updates, and left the computer to update. Later, I had to reboot the computer due to a power failure (all items now show as "Up to date" in the Apps tab). But I'm getting Notifications every 10 seconds saying, "Creative Cloud. Administration rights are required to complete Adobe Add-ons installation or removal." I'm happy to provide those credentials, but there is nowhere to type them! I've looked in all the tabs in the Creative Cloud balloon, and displayed all windows (so it's not hidden under something else).
SOLUTION: I quit Creative Cloud, then opened Creative Cloud again. The notifications are no longer displaying, and applications are all up to date. Apparently something was confused by the power outage.

Message: "Administration rights are required to complete Adobe Add-ons installation or removal" - this pops up every few seconds after installing CC 2014. When I double-click on it the CC console opens but is entirely blank. What can I do?

Administration rights are required

Hi, Ever since the recent upgrade to CC2014 I'm getting a dialog box saying:
Creative Cloud
Administration rights are required to complete
Adobe Add-ons installation or removal.
I then have to enter my administration password every morning and it's a pain.
Any ideas how to stop this.
Thanks for your help

Same basic problem. Every morning I get the "Administration rights are required to complete Adobe Add-ons installation or removal" notice and it pops up everytime an Adobe CC 2014 app opens.

Administration rights are required message comes up and creative cloud no longer works on OSX. Permissions show no errors. Please help

Creative cloud no longer works. Is there a patch?

I am looking to swtich from an individual creative cloud membership to a team membership, but I only have one employee. Is it worth it to make the switch to team if we are both only using Photoshop?

I am looking to swtich from an individual creative cloud membership to a team membership, but I only have one employee. Is it worth it to make the switch to team if we are both only using Photoshop?

Hi ,
Team subscription can be done for only one software ( for example team for Photoshop ).
The advantage of team is that you have one charge and one invoice for all users.Also when a member of your team leave the company ,you can delete his invitation and assign it to another employee ,you can also add seats if you have additional employee without contacting adobe or changing your plan,you have more storage volume ( 100Gb ).
Here are the most important advantages but it's your decision .
regards,

Creative Cloud is not up-to-date but it says it is.

Creative Cloud says my apps are all up-to-date, but in Illustrator I'm missing the Join Tool and in Photoshop I don't have Extract Assets either in the menu at the top or in the right-click/option-click contextual menu. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I've uninstalled, deleted the OPM.db file and reinstalled. My apps are still not up-to-date with the options in the tutorials.

I am sorry for the late response, It would be best to contact support regarding this.

Administrator privilege are required to install Adobe Master CS5.5

Hi All,
This is Tom. I'm logged in as local administrator to Windows 7 64bit OS and everytime I tried to install CS5.5 Master I kept getting this message, "Administrator privilege are required to install". Do you have any suggestion? I can install any program but just not CS5.5.
Thanks & Regards,
Tom

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for your advice.
I could not find the log in "\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers", it only shows log file from my previous installation of Adobe CS3.
I can see this file \Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log with some errors like
23:11:19 [ERROR] LWANative - OOBElib returned error: 34
23:11:19 [INFO] LWANative - pwa_openSession Session key : {*****-****-*****}

I have Creative Cloud and just downloaded Ae... but it is version CS6... not CC2014.1 . Any idea why the download is for an older version?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

"Administration priviliges are required to continue the installation."

AAM will not run, on launch it defaults to downloading an update and then announces that "Administration priviliges are required to continue the installation." despite the installation being done by the administrator (me)
I looked at some of the osts and changed OOB to OOB_old.db in the local application data of my user folder in the systerm folder.
Now I get a new message after going through the long wait for installation
Please advise. I have a big project coming this week. thanks
Linda

Linda which version of Windows are you using? Does your user account have adminsitrative rights? Have you tried temporarily turning off User Account Control?

Creative cloud says my apps are up to date & they are not! I might not be the only one!

Ok, as always there is something not working with my creative cloud..
Creative cloud says my apps are up to date when in fact I know they arent. Everytime I contact adobe support they either say they cant help me or make me go through the same steps over and over again until they also tell me they cant do anything..
I would recommend more people to check if you really have the latest update for your software.
For example Im currently on Premiere CC 7.1.0 when the newest version out is 7.2.1. I cant update them manually either.
Im on windows 8.1 maybe more of you have the same problem without knowing it..

Sign out from creative cloud desktop application and sign in back.
