If you have ever signed a DocuSign form here at the University of Washington, you already have a “UW Signers” profile in DocuSign. It is created automatically the first time you sign an envelope in DocuSign and facilitates your completion of that form with our Single Sign-On using your UW NetID.
Permissions are only limited to being able to sign envelopes that are sent to you.
Limitations include:
- Sending envelopes: You cannot use a UW Signers account to send envelopes or use any other parts of DocuSign.
- If you log in to DocuSign and see that you have an account, but are unable to send an envelope, you likely have not had a department-specific account set up for you OR,
- If you have had such an account set up, you need to switch over to your departmental profile which will have additional permissions. See how to switch profiles here.
- If you need permission to send envelopes but do not have an account, reach out to your team’s Delegated Administrator, who will be able to set one up for you.
- Delegated Administrator access: If you are looking to become a Delegated Administrator for your team, you can fill out an eSignatures Interest Form to begin the process.
