Invite people and choose their role

How to add colleagues, what happens when they already have a SignSpry account, what each role can do, and how seats work.

Admins add people under Admin → Users. Each person gets a role, and each active person uses one seat. Signers never use a seat.

Add someone

  1. Open Admin → Users.
  2. Under Add a user, enter their full name and email.
  3. Pick a role (Member is pre-selected).
  4. Press Add user.

They get an email with a link to set their own password, valid for 7 days. If email isn't configured for your installation, the page shows a one-time password instead, once, for you to pass on.

If they already have a SignSpry account

Someone who signed up on their own can't be created a second time. Instead they get an invitation, and you see them under Invitations waiting with the role they'll have on joining.

  • The link is valid for 7 days. Press Withdraw to cancel it.
  • They must be signed in as the invited address to accept.
  • Accepting moves their envelopes and templates into your organisation. Nothing is deleted, and they work under your plan, teams and branding from then on.
  • If they are the only member of an organisation with a paid plan, they are asked to cancel that subscription first.

Roles

RoleCan do
ViewerSign and view only.
MemberSend envelopes and keep their own templates.
ManagerEverything a Member can, plus the three extras below.
AdminEverything, including the admin pages.

Extra permissions give a Member one Manager power without promoting them: Bulk send, Team reports (reports across the whole organisation rather than your own envelopes) and Share with everyone (share templates, make organisation-wide folders). Details are in Roles and permissions.

Only active people count. Accounts opened under older terms may have more; Plan & billing shows "N of M seats used" for yours. If you're full, Add user tells you so and points to a member pack or an upgrade.

Single sign-on

If your organisation uses single sign-on, you can let SignSpry create a member the first time someone from your domains signs in (this uses a seat), with the role you choose for new members. SCIM can create and remove people for you. Roles are still adjusted under Admin → Users.

When someone leaves

  1. On their row, press Deactivate. They are signed out at once and their seat is freed.
  2. If they had sent envelopes, press Transfer and choose a colleague. Ownership moves, live signing links keep working, and each audit trail still shows who originally sent it.
Reset password and Reset 2FA are on the same row, for someone who is locked out.
