This guide provides information about all the available options and how to work with those different
options.
Additionally, Customer Administrators can set template sharing options for all the templates in the
account and a procedure for sharing templates is included in this guide.

senders cannot set their own time zone.
Note: All envelopes that are not completed will Expire after the set expiration/void time.

To Add Multiple Users from a CSV file
1. Create a comma-separated value (CSV) file with users. Use the following information when
creating the file.
•
The first line of the file is the header row for the file and defines each of the columns. The
acceptable header values are: User Name, User Email, User Title, Group and Permission
Profile. The User Title, Group and Permission Profile header values are optional. Multiple
Group headers can be added to the file to add users to multiple groups. The header values
are not required to be in the order listed and are not case-sensitive, but the text must match
listed header values.
•
In the following lines of the file, add the user information with commas used as the delimiter
(separator) between each value.
•
If adding a Group or Permission Profile value, it must match existing Group and Permission
Profile names.
Note: You do not need to add users to the Everyone group, since all users are automatically
adding to that group.
•
A field can be enclosed in double-quotation marks (“). This allows you to enter information that
has a comma or double-quotation marks in it. Example: if a User Title is Inside Sales, NE you
would type “Inside Sales, NE” in the User Title field.
Tip: If you are using Microsoft® Excel® to create your file, you only need to enter the User
Name, User Email and User Title in different columns and save the file as a CSV file. You do

error in the file, the system displays a message with the problem line and the error reason. The
second pass, which only occurs if the first pass did not detect any errors, adds the new users and
checks for redundancy.
An activation email is sent to the new users in the uploaded file.
Note: An access code cannot be added to activation emails sent in this manner.
The new user will follow the instructions in the email to activate their account. If you need to
resend the activation email, click Send Activation on the same line as the user name.
5. When the upload is completed, you can repeat steps 3 and 4 to upload another file or click Done
to return to the Manage User page.

profiles makes it easier to maintain control of user permissions.
•
To change personal information for the user (such as user Name, Company, Job Title, or
Language), type the changes and click Save.
Note: Changing a user’s Name will change the information on the user’s ID card, but will not
change a user’s saved signatures.

list and click Save.
•
To change the account permission settings for the user, click Permissions. Select the
Permission Profile or manually select the permission settings and click Save.

acceptable header values are: User Name, User Email, User Title, Group and Permission
Profile. The User Title, Group and Permission Profile header values are optional. Multiple

Group headers can be added to the file to add users to multiple groups. The header values
are not required to be in the order listed and are not case-sensitive, but the text must match
listed header values.
Note: For existing users, you can use the header value MembershipId instead of User Name
and User Email.
•
In the following lines of the file, add the user information with commas used as the delimiter
(separator) between each value.
•
If adding a Group or Permission Profile value, it must match existing Group and Permission
Profile names.
•
A field can be enclosed in double-quotation marks (“). This allows you to enter information that
has a comma or double-quotation marks in it. Example: if a User Title is Inside Sales, NE you

error in the file, the system displays a message with the problem line and the error reason. The
second pass, which only occurs if the first pass did not detect any errors, adds the new users and
checks for redundancy.
The Group and Permission Profile information are updated for the users.
Note: If the user does not exist in the account and the User Name and User Email were included
for the user, an activation email is sent to the user.
5. When the upload is completed, you can repeat steps 3 and 4 to upload another file or click Done
to return to the Manage User page.

Action column for the user click Reset Password.
2. A reset password email is sent to the user. The user clicks the reset password link and follows the

This section lets you create, modify and remove Groups in your account. The Group management
option allows Customer Administrators to create user groups, assign users to the groups, set the user
permissions for the groups and, if Account Branding is enabled, set the brand profiles a group can
use. You are not required to set Permission Profiles for a group, but this makes it easier to manage
user permissions for a large number of users, without having to change permissions on a user-byuser basis. Groups can also be used with template sharing to limit user access to templates.
There are two default Groups in the system: Everyone and Administrators. These groups cannot be
renamed or removed from the system. The Everyone group contains all active account users. The
Administrators group has all active users that have the Manage Account user permission selected.
To Create a New Group
1. In the Groups list, select New Group.
2. Type the Group Name for the new group.
3. Select the users for the new group from the Available Users block and click the double arrow
button (>>) to move the users to the Group Users block. You can select all the users in a block by
selecting the check box adjacent to Name in the header.

4. Click Save Changes to save the group and users.
5. Click the Permissions tab, select the Permission Profile for the group and then click Save
Changes.
If you want to create a new Permission Profile, see the To Create a New Permission Profile
procedure.
6. [Optional, if Account Branding is enabled] Click the Brands tab to set the brand profiles for the
group. This sets the brand profiles the group members can use when sending envelopes and
creating templates.
Select the brand profiles for the group from the Available Brands block and click the double arrow
button (>>) to move the brands to the Group Brands block. You can select all the brands in a
block by selecting the check box adjacent to Name in the header.
If more than one profile is assigned to a group, the group members will have access to all the
brand profiles for the group and their default brand profile is the account default brand profile. If a
user is a member of multiple groups, the user will have access to the brand profiles for all their
groups and their default brand profile is the account default brand profile. Account Customer
Administrators always have access to all brand profiles.
Click Save Changes to save the group and brand changes.
To Modify a Group
1. In the Groups list, select the group you want to modify.
•
To rename a group: Click Rename and type the new Group Name.

1. In the Groups list, select the group you want to remove.
2. To remove a group, click Remove.
The group is deleted.
Manage Signers
This feature was added to help companies meet regulatory signer log on requirements for certain
applications and is not active for all accounts. Manage Signers provides the ability to create a
DocuSign account for signers that are not part of your organization, so envelopes can be sent to
those signers when the Signer Login Requirement – Account Required setting is used for your
account. When a signer account is created, an invitation email is sent by DocuSign to the signer.
The signer opens the email, clicks the Activate link and is taken to a secure website to enter a
password and activate their account. Once the signer activates their account, they are able to view
and sign envelopes as requested. The signer account is the same as a DocuSign free account.
Note: It is recommended that you contact your signers before creating a signer account to let
them that they will be receiving an account activation email from DocuSign. If a signer already
has a DocuSign account, they will not receive an account activation email and they are added to
your managed signer list.
You can add signer accounts one user at a time or by using a comma-separated value (CSV) file to
upload multiple users. The procedures for each process are given below.
To Add a Single Manage Signer Account
1. In the Classic DocuSign Experience, go to Preferences and click Manage Signers. The Manage
Signers page is displayed.

message is sent and the signer is added to the list of managed signers.
5. Repeat this procedure to add another signer account. When you have finished adding signer
accounts, click Done.
To Add Multiple Manage Signer Accounts with a CSV file
To use a comma-separated value (CSV) file to upload multiple signer accounts:
1. Create a CSV file with the signer information. Use the following information when creating a CSV
file.
•
The format of the lines in the CSV file is: Signer Name, Signer Email, Signer Organization
Name, Signer Street Address 1, Signer Street Address 2, Signer City, Signer State, Signer Zip
and Signer Phone Number with commas used as the delimiter (separator) between each
value.
The Signer Organization Name, Signer Street Address 2, and Signer Country fields are
optional. The Signer State is the two letter code abbreviation for the state or Province.
•
The file can use a header line that has the field names.
•
A field can be enclosed in double-quotation marks (“). This allows you to enter information
that has a comma or double-quotation marks in it. Example: if a Signer Street Address 1 is
101 My Way, Apt 102 you would type “101 My Way, Apt 102” in the Signer Street Address 1
field.
Tip: If you are using Microsoft® Excel® to create your file, you only need to enter the fields in
different columns and save the file as a CSV file. You do not need to add commas or doublequotation marks in the columns; Excel will automatically do this when you save the file.

The Date Signed/Time Signed shown in the Certificate of Completion uses the sender’s format and
time zone (if the sender cannot set a unique time zone, the account time zone used). The time zone
shown in the History view depends on the viewer. If the sender is viewing, the information is shown in
the sender’s format. If the signer is viewing and the signer does not have a DocuSign account, the
format used is set by the sender’s account and the time zone used is set by the sender’s settings (if
the sender can set a unique time zone, that time zone used). If the signer has a DocuSign account,
the format used is determined by the signer’s account settings. In all cases, a time zone abbreviation
is shown; see the Time Zone Abbreviations section for time zone abbreviations and UTC offsets.
Note: If the Format for Time Signed setting is set to None, the account time zone is still
displayed adjacent to the date as part of the timestamp when viewing envelope events in the

completion. The time zone information is included so that in cases where time-sensitive
documents are included in an envelope the envelope event times still can be tracked.

completed on 6/1/2015 in Japan, Tokyo Standard Time, and still be valid.

attachment.
When this option is enabled and users clone an envelope that has signer attachments, the
attachments are retained in the new envelope. This could cause unintentional issues with sharing
data between signers.
Allow Markup (Check box) – When selected a user can choose to allow recipients to edit envelope
data using the Document Markup feature. See the Using the Document Markup Feature quick start
guide or the DocuSign Service User Guide for more information about Document Markup.

log on to sign the document.
•
Account required – login to initiate session: The sender cannot send an envelope to
anyone who does not have a DocuSign account.
•

Signing auto-navigation rule (List) – This option selects the navigation policy for recipients for initial
navigation through a document. Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule. This
option is also referred to as SmartNav™. There are seven possible selections:
•
Navigate required fields: The initial navigation moves to the next blank or filled-in required
field. Optional fields are skipped. Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
•
Navigate blank required fields: The initial navigation moves to the next blank required field.
Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
•
Navigate all fields: The initial and subsequent navigation moves to the next required or
optional field.
•
Page Only: There is no automatic navigation to the next field. The signer must manually
navigate through the document. The signer can scroll through the document, click the Next
arrow, or use the document map on the right side of the browser to go to specific pages in the
document. Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
•
Page then Navigate required fields: The initial navigation goes to the top of the next page
and then moves to the next blank or filled-in required field on the page. If there are no
required fields on the page, the navigation stops at the top of the page and shows the Next
arrow. Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
•
Page then Navigate blank required fields: The initial navigation goes to the top of the next
page and then moves to the next blank required field on the page. If there are no blank
required fields on the page, the navigation stops at the top of the page and shows the Next
arrow. Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
•
Page then Navigate all fields: The initial navigation goes to the top of the next page and
then moves to the next required or optional field page. If there are no required or optional
fields on the page, the navigation stops at the top of the page and shows the Next arrow.
Subsequent navigation will use the Navigate all fields rule.
Note: In the current signing experience the Page then Navigate all fields option takes the
signer to the top of the page if there are no fields on the page. If there are fields on the page,
it will take the signer to the first field on the page. This is a known issue. The new signing
experience (enabled by selecting the Use DocuSign Winter ’15 Signing Experience option)
corrects this issue so the Page then Navigate all fields option acts as described above.
Signer auto-navigation override (Check box) – When selected this option allows senders to disable
the recipient signing auto-navigation feature for envelopes they send.

service. This extra information appears on the documents, including the Certificate of Completion, for
envelopes sent by the account. DocuSign eSignature formatting includes:
•
DocuSigned by:’ for signatures and ‘DS’ for initials
•
A blue border on the left
•
The user’s script name and initials
• A partial Global Identifier for signatures
When this option is not selected (disabled), only the signer’s script name or initials are shown.
DocuSign eSignature format enabled
DocuSign eSignature format disabled
Why use the “DocuSign eSignature format”?
With the DocuSign eSignature Format enabled, the signature is easily recognized as a DocuSign
signature. When disabled, only the signer’s signature appears.
If you expect to be dealing with others who understand the DocuSign signature indicates a secure
document handling process, and that they can rely on the document to be tamper proof, that there
is an online backup, etc, then you should enable the DocuSign eSignature Format to make sure
other can easily tell that the signature is from DocuSign.
If you expect to be sending documents to others who are not familiar with DocuSign, and do not
expect extra layers of security, but perhaps just require faxed in documents, you should consider
disabling the DocuSign eSignature Format so these recipients are not confused by the additional
information.
What the Recipient Sees when Signing
If this option is not selected (disabled) for an account, when a signer clicks a signature or initials
tag, the Adopt Your Signature dialog appears normally, but the DocuSign signature and initials
appear without the eSignature formatting. The eSignature formatting also is not shown on
documents, including the Certificate of Completion, for envelopes signed by the user.

Sharing Templates as an Administrator
Sharing a template allows other users to access and use the template to send envelopes.
Administrators have access to and can change the sharing options for existing templates through the
Classic DocuSign Experience Manage tab. The All Account Templates folder has all the templates,
shared or unshared, in the account.
To share existing templates:
1. With the Manage navigation tab selected, in the Templates section of the navigation panel, click
the All Account Templates folder.
Find and select the template you want to share. You can select multiple templates.
2. Click Actions and then select Share.
The Template Sharing dialog box is displayed.

48
If you selected multiple templates to share: a blank box indicates all the templates are not shared
with any Groups/Members, a checked box indicates all the template is shared with a
Groups/Members, a red question mark (?) indicates all the templates are shared with some, but
not all, Groups/Members.
•
In the Groups tab, select the groups that will have access to the template. Click Select All to
select all the groups in the list. All templates are automatically shared with the Administrators
group.
•
Click the Members tab. Select the members that will have access to the template. Click
Select All to select all the members in the list.
Note: Due to the way Group and Member template access is tracked, Members will not be shown
as selected when viewing the Members tab even if the Member is part of a selected Group.
3. Click Save to save the template sharing information.
Shared Template Folders
DocuSign builds on the value of templates by giving you more control over sharing different templates
with different groups or departments. You can create additional shared template folders and subfolders and assign different groups to the folder. With this capability, administrators can more easily
organize templates and end users can more quickly locate the right templates to use.
To add a new Shared Templates sub-folder:
You can add a sub-folder under the Shared Templates folder to manage template sharing. Once a
sub-folder is added, it can be shared with Groups and users and is shown under the user’s Shared
Templates folder. Any templates in the sub-folders are automatically shared with the users.
1. Select the Shared Templates folder and click Add Folder.

2. A folder, named New Folder, appears at the bottom of the list. Double-click on the New Folder
and type the name or the folder.
To add templates to a Shared Templates sub-folder:
1. Find the template (this can be in My Templates or Shared Templates). In the Result Panel, click
on the template and drag it to the sub-folder you are going to share.
Note: When a template is added to a Shared Templates sub-folder, it will still appear in the main
Shared Templates folder in addition to appearing in the sub-folder. The templates in the subfolders will have different IDs than the original template, but all these templates are related and an
update to one is reflected in all.
In the example below, the Sample Boiler Plate Document is being added to the Education
Templates folder.
Sharing a Shared Templates sub-folder:
You can share all the templates in a sub-folder by sharing the sub-folder with groups or users. To
share a sub-folder:
1. In the Navigation Panel select the sub-folder you want to share, click the Actions menu (on the
right side of the web application) and select Share Folder.

2. In the Folder Sharing dialog box, select the Groups and Members that the sub-folder is shared
with and then click Save.
Note: All templates are automatically shared with the Administrators group.
User Permissions and Sharing
This section provides information about the Permissions and Sharing settings for your users.
User Permissions
User permissions can be customized for a user or a Permission Profile can be applied for a user or for
multiple users in a Group. The user table shows general information about the users in the account,
including the user’s Permission Profile and the Groups to which the user belongs.
Note: The Permission column in the user table only shows profiles set by selecting a user and
then selecting a Permission Profile. It does not show any profiles set by being a member of a
Group.

Classic DocuSign Experience Account Administrator Reference Guide
51
DocuSign recommends that you use Permission Profiles when setting user permissions. Using
profiles makes it easier to maintain control of user permissions.
If a user is a member of multiple Groups and the groups have different Permission Profiles, the
settings used for that user are the most permissive settings in all the associated profiles.
Example: A user is a member of two groups, in the Permission Profile for one group the Signer
Attachments option is selected and in the other it is not. The user is able to use Sender Attachments
since it is the most permissive setting in the Permission Profiles.
If you want to customize a user’s permission settings, you can select the appropriate settings and
save the changes. However, if a user is part of a Group with a set Permission Profile and the profile
settings are changed, the user’s permission settings will be changed to be the same as the profile.
Sharing Settings
The Sharing settings are used to select which users can view and manage envelopes in the current
user’s folders.
The selected users view and manage the shared envelopes from their own folder list.
The selected users can correct, resend or void envelopes. The selected user cannot send a new
envelope or sign an envelope for the current user.
