Team roles for managing multiple-signature workflows

Administrator

Administrators manage account-wide policies, configure signing workflows, set authentication defaults, and control retention and access settings. They handle user provisioning and monitor audit logs to enforce compliance and maintain consistent multi-signer processes across teams.

Signer

Signers receive signature requests, complete assigned fields, and authenticate as required. Their responsibilities include reviewing document content carefully, confirming identity as prompted, and preserving signed copies for personal records when appropriate.

Core features for effective multiple signatures

A robust multiple signatures implementation includes signing order control, templates, authentication options, bulk sending, detailed audit logs, and integrations to streamline document workflows and reduce manual steps.

Signing Order

Supports sequential and parallel signing flows so organizations can enforce required signing sequences, allow concurrent signing where appropriate, and configure routing rules to match legal or business requirements.

Templates

Create reusable templates with predefined fields and signer roles to speed repeatable multiple-signature transactions and maintain consistent document structure across use cases.

Bulk Send

Send a single document to many recipients individually while collecting separate multiple-signature completions, reducing repetitive setup and ensuring each recipient receives a tracked copy.

Authentication

Offer multiple signer verification methods including email, SMS codes, and identity verification to meet varying risk and compliance requirements for signed documents.

Audit Trail

Maintain a tamper-evident, timestamped audit trail that records signer actions, IP addresses, and document changes for legal and compliance review.

Integrations

Connect with CRMs, cloud storage, and document editors so multiple-signature workflows become part of broader business processes and reduce manual file handling.
