User Roles

Security roles determine what menu items or task lists users see when they sign onto UFDocuSign, and what functions they can perform. Access levels can vary from signing a document to sending and creating documents.

Anyone in the world can sign documents sent via UFDocuSign. No security role is required. However, if you want to send documents or create document templates, you will need to complete online training and request a security role. Please know, it takes 2 business days to enable your UFDocuSign permissions after your DSA assigns the role.

Contact information for Department Security Administrators are located at: http://files.it.ufl.edu/identity/DSA.pdf

 

Signers
