How do I add a new administrator to the account?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the DocuSign Community.

To be able to add users to an account (viewers, senders, and admins) you need to be an admin of said account.

If you are an account admin and your plan allows it, you can navigate to the Settings tab > under Users and Groups click Users > Add User, in there you will need to fill out the new user information and set up their permission profile as an Admin.

If you are not set as an admin on the account you won’t be able to see this section as this is only visible for Administrators. If you are not an admin, please reach out to your account administrator to add the new user, if you are not sure who your admin is I will suggest you reach out to your internal IT, HR, or management team for more information.

Hi Rebeca, thanks for the quick response. I am not the admin however my colleague who has now left the business was the admin - how can I rectify this?

Hi,

I'm afraid that if you are not an admin, you won't be able to add new users.

You can check the following article (How do I manage my account if all Administrators have left the company?) as it provides best practices and self-service options that you can try, if none work, you will need to reach out to DocuSign Support directly.
