Legal validity, compliance, and operational efficiency

Team roles and administrative profiles

IT Admin

IT Admins manage account-wide settings, enforce authentication policies, configure integrations, and provision organizational units. They maintain API credentials for production systems, oversee security controls, and coordinate with compliance teams for audits and retention policies.

Compliance Officer

Compliance Officers define retention schedules, approve data-handling configurations, and review audit logs. They verify ESIGN/UETA alignment for recordkeeping, ensure HIPAA or FERPA settings where needed, and document proof-of-process for internal and external audits.

Primary features for contact and organization management in production

The following features support scalable contact and organization management in production, combining directory control, signing workflows, API access, and compliance controls for enterprise use.

Contact Management

Centralized contact lists with import, export, and synchronization options to keep recipient data consistent across workflows and enable group-based sending and permissions for production volumes.

Organization Management

Nested organization structures with role-based access allow administrators to segment accounts by department, location, or client, enforcing policies and streamlining document routing for business units.

Bulk Send

Bulk Send enables one-to-many distribution by merging contact data into templates, reducing manual sending and supporting high-volume production campaigns while preserving individual audit records.

API Access

REST API for document creation, sending, and contact management provides programmatic control, enabling integration with production systems and automated lifecycle workflows.

Roles & Permissions

Granular role assignment and permission sets let administrators restrict actions, control template access, and delegate management duties without exposing sensitive documents or settings.

Audit Trail

Comprehensive, tamper-evident logs capture signer actions, timestamps, and IP addresses to meet compliance and provide verifiable evidence for production transactions.
