Workspace roles & permissions

Easily manage SignNow Workspaces with role-based permissions for secure, efficient collaboration.

Learn the differences between roles to choose the right access for your team.

There are 2 workspace-level roles:

  1. Admin — for those who need to manage the entire workspace, including document workflow, members, security, and branding. Within the team space, admins have full visibility and edit access to all documents and templates to ensure workflow consistency. Best for managers, IT admins and department heads.

  2. Member — role is best for team members focused on preparing, sending, and managing documents. In the team space, members can oversee each other's shared documents to send reminders or check statuses when a colleague is unavailable. Designed for general team members and contributors.
