Signority uses team account roles and permission to ensure teams are secure and managed. When you first sign up for an account, you’ll have full account permission. After you join a team, you may have less visibility on functions such as billing information or account deletion options, but you’ll always be able to send, receive and managed documents. This article goes over the differences between the various team account roles available and what kind of permission each one will have.

Team Account Roles: Regular Users

Regular Users can send, receive and share documents. They cannot view billing information nor do they have full visibility of the entire team’s work. They aren’t able to upgrade the plan either. However, they have full access to the eSignature platform and can create and send documents, templates, and other workflows.

New members of a team are Regular Users by default.

Team Account Roles: Team Administrators

Team Admins are in a subteam.

Team Admins have the rights of Regular Team Members, in addition to being able to view the subteam’s work and adding or removing Regular Team Members. They have full rights to manage their subteam.

There can be multiple Team Administrators on a subteam.

Team Account Roles: Super Administrators

Super Admins are in the root team. They have permissions as the Billing Admin except for the payment responsibility:

A Super Admin has the visibility of entire subteam list. S/he can adding or removing Regular Team Members for the corporate account and can also move teammates between root team and subteams. 

A Super Admin can share documents and templates to the root team. But s/he can not access subteam’s documents and templates for privacy purpose unless the Super Admin transfers documents to his/her account.

The Super Admin can create the company branding and generate an API key. On top of that, a Super Admin can configure global setting for teammates.

Multiple Super Admins are allowed in one account.

Team Account Roles: Billing Administrators

Billing Administrators manage the whole team. They have the rights of Super Admin, Team Admin, and can also manage billing and manage the service plan. They have the ability to upgrade plans and have access to all the invoices tied to the account and team.

When the first user signs up a plan, the user’s role is the Billing Admin and under the Root team by default. Billing Admin role can be switched from the “Edit” 

A team can only have one Billing Administrator.
