The legal users do not have Sender permission. However they would like to have access to the Agreement Manager - (formerly Navigator) repository. Is possible to give Agreement Manager - (formerly Navigator) access to a user with Viewer permission.

Hello ​@neethujkp

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community. I understand that you would like your users with the “Viewer” permission profile to gain access to Docusign Navigator. We’re here to help clarify the matter. 
 

Access to Navigator agreements and features is set at the account level for users and groups. There are two ways that Navigator access is assigned:

  1. Manually assigned by an account administrator. Administrators can assign Navigator access from the User or Group profile page under the Admin menu. ( Go to the Admin tab > Users > Select your user with a “Viewer” permission profile > Manage navigator Access 

    A screenshot of the Navigator access section that shows the available permission levels for Navigator agreements.
  2. Managed by an assigned permission profile. Navigator access for the Viewer Permission profile isn’t enabled by default. Administrators will need to create a Custom Permission Profile that includes the Navigator permission to View all agreements in the account and assign that Profile to your users. Go to Admin tab > Permission Profile > Locate Viewer Permission profile, click on Actions > Copy > Enable the Navigator Access. Once created, change your user’s with a “viewer” permission profile to the created custom permission profile. (Go to Admin tab > Users > Select on the User > Click on Actions > Edit > Change the permission profile.)
