Question

Error changing user permissions

I recently upgraded from the standard paid version to the business pro version. However when trying to utilize some of the features like uploading a template, the feature is not available. Of course that led me to the admin page as I am the only user, and the one who started the account. Under my name nothing is listed under permission profile and there are no other users. When I click on that tab a warning pops up for about 1 second in an orange box that stated “warning add an administrator profile”. However when I try to edit my name it fails to load user information. Basically I am stuck in a loop of apparently not having an admin even though I am the only user and have the rest of the admin functionality. Needless to say it has been a very frustrating few days trying to get help on this, and it appears DocuSign themselves could care less as there is no way to contact them. Finally, I did try to open a case while logged in but it sends me to another page to get a paid account, which I already have. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you share how this was resolved? My account is currently suffering the same issue and we are unable to complete time sensitive contracts. 

 

I reached out to support and they reviewed the issue but haven't gotten back since. My user has no permission profile attached and I get an error when trying to add one. 

 

How can this be resolved? It's become time sensitive. Thanks

Hey ​@Cmansfield, thanks for reaching out and I’m really sorry you’re dealing with an issue.

Were you able to get any updates from the support team? If not, could you please send me a direct message with your case number so we can help follow up on it?

You can also share more details here, including screenshots of the issue (with any PII covered). That way, we might be able to help, and other community members can jump in as well.
