The most common level of permissions for a DocuSign user here at the University of Washington is a UW Sender with templates. In this role, you are able to:
- Create and send envelopes,
- Use envelope templates that have been created by your team’s Delegated Administrator(s) and shared with you, and
- Manage your sent envelopes.
The ability to create templates and manage users is reserved for Delegated Administrators. There will be cases where your team may have set you up as a sender without the ability to use templates, which may be necessary depending on your team’s use cases for DocuSign.
If you have questions on your permissions, you can consult with your team’s Delegated Administrator, and if you’re ever unsure who that person might be or have more in-depth questions about a process in DocuSign, reach out to the eSignatures team and we will assist you.
