I have a personal account where I want to send a document to be signed. I need to add fields, but it’s giving me this error message:
The account administrator has disabled adding fields.
I don’t ever recall being a part of any group. I checked my settings and I have admin privileges, but there are some settings I can’t edit. However, I can’t see anything in the settings that is preventing me from adding fields to a document I want to use.
In contrast, I had my friend create an account, and they were able to do everything normally. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi there,
My free trial account has the same issue.
I signed up for trial account. When try to add basic signature field, it says:
The account administrator has disabled adding fields.
Does it mean that free trial account has no capability to add any basic field?
is the personal plan capable to add such signature field?
thanks

I’m free trial account. I guess signature field is one of the basic field? or it’s not in the plan of “free trial account”
Thank you
Hello
Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community, where amazing Community members and Moderators are always ready to share knowledge with you.
We're sorry to hear about the error message you get when adding the signature field to your document. Let's work together to sort this out.
Signature field is available on free trial accounts as it’s based on the Business Pro paid account type. For reference: Docusign eSignature Free Trial FAQs
Just to confirm, do you happen to have multiple Docusign accounts? Can you please verify that you are logged in to the free trial account? Accessing another account with a different permission profile (not DS Admin/ DS Sender) may throw the error. More guidance here: Switch Accounts and Set a Default Account
I'd also suggest to perform basic troubleshooting, such as clearing your browser's cache, trying it in another browser, or incognito How do I clear the cache and cookies in my browser?
Let us know how it goes, or if you have more questions, we're here for you!
