Are there any comms about why this has changed? My users think they're no longer able to view 'shared envelopes' but actually its how you view them thats changed and I haven't seen notes on why this change has been done. Links in other posts not working.

Hello - these links to the directions on how to set up shared access don't seem to work. I'm logged in as an admin but keep getting a "You are not authorized to view this page" message.

Screenshot 2022-09-15 081715Seconding what others have written. This link doesn't work right when users are howling and admins are scrambling. Not DocuSign's finest hour.

I agree, this is not working. I am the admin for our account and yet it says I am not authorized.

I agree - I am getting the 'not authorized' message but I was able to access the page and view the details yesterday. Please advise.

I am also an Admin for our account and get the same exact message. Any direction on this would be great!

I have the same issue - both with users thinking something is broken and with me (as the admin) being unable to access the associated support article(s).

Also, I noticed that I can't access the monthly release notes either. Maybe there's an overall issue with the support site...

I have a user that has legacy shared permission for other users, but is unable to access the "shared" users, even though they are listed on the legacy shared permission. I tried removing then adding again - to no avail.

FYI - I also get the 404 error when trying to access the Administrator instructions and I'm an admin.

Hi,

Thank you for making me aware of this issue.

Brooks' assumption was correct, this was a general issue with our Support Center, which was preventing access to most of our documentation.

Our engineering team was made aware of the situation and this problem should have been fixed by now.

Please don't hesitate in letting me know if you continue to experience issues at the moment of accessing the links shared in my original response and I will make sure to let the appropriate team know, so it can be corrected as soon as possible.

Best regards,
