Access Codes
Assign single-use or reusable codes to restrict who can open a signing session and add an extra layer of validation before document access.
In the United States, e signatures protected by access codes can meet legal standards under ESIGN and UETA when the system establishes intent, consent, association of signature with the record, and reliable record retention; additional controls support HIPAA and FERPA compliance where required.
Account Admins configure access-code policies, manage templates, review audit logs, and assign permissions; they ensure organizational settings align with compliance and retention requirements across teams.
Team Members prepare documents, apply templates with predefined access-code rules, and send protected signing links while following established procedures for code distribution and recordkeeping.
