yes - you would set up “John” with you as the designated signer
per DocuSign instructions:
The sender may enable the optional delegated signing feature. This feature ensures that envelope completion continues uninterrupted when signers are out of the office, or otherwise unavailable to sign.
As a delegate signing an agreement on another signer's behalf, you sign under your own name and signature.
- When you receive a notification to sign, select REVIEW DOCUMENT.
- Agree to the disclosure statement that details you are signing on behalf of the delegator.
Once you accept the disclosure statement, the signing session displays a notice that you are signing on behalf of the delegator as shown in the following example.
You are signing on behalf of Tamara Morgan This helps distinguish between signing as a recipient and as a delegate.
You may need to see if this feature is available/turned on for your account.
good luck
