  • Manage the proper retention and disposal of documents created by their team in accordance with UW Records Management and all applicable privacy policies. 
  • Inform the eSignatures team if you are leaving the UW or changing departments so that we can remove or update your access. 
  • Be familiar with the materials provided for UW Senders and Signers as well.

In addition to the general permissions granted to UW Senders and Signers, Delegated Administrators shall:

  • Manage users,
  • Create and share templates, and
