How to give a signer privileges to forward the signing authority to someone else?

Hi,

If you go to your 'Preferences' and click features on the left hand side, you should be able to tick the box for ' Signers can reassign envelopes' 

This will then allow the recipient to reassign the signatory duties to the owner whilst still receiving the document herself.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Community Susan, 

With this feature enabled, they can forward using the "Assign to Someone Else" Feature  in the "Other Actions Menu" below. Learn more in our guides

• New Signing: It is located in the  (https://support.docusign.com/guides/signer-guide-signing-other-actions-new) Other Actions Menu  >> Assign to Someone Else
• Classic Signing: It is located in the  More Options  >> Change Signer

There also might be times when you, as a sender, must manage a complex, brokered transaction where you do not know the contact information for the all recipients and signers for a transaction. However, you do know the agents or brokers for those recipients, who can add in the contact information needed to complete the transaction.

Address recipients: This recipient can add name and email information for recipients that appear after the recipient in workflow order. This recipient type is only available if the Send to Manage feature is enabled for the sender and document visibility is not enabled. Please view our our (https://support.docusign.com/guides/cdse-user-guide-advanced-sending-agent-envelopes) Agent Managed Envelopes   to learn more about assigning this recipient action. 

Happy DocuSigning, 

Marc

​I cannot find where to tick the box for "Signers can reassign envelopes" I do not see any such option in "My Preferences" can you make a picture of where exactly can I find it? Or do you have a video for that? I am referring to your advice: If you go to your 'Preferences' and click features on the left hand side, you should be able to tick the box for ' Signers can reassign envelopes' 

Thank you!

I can't even find "Preferences" mentioned above. I see my preferences when I click my photo, but "Features" is not an option and neither is the option to "reassign envelopes."

Thanks.

This option is no longer located in Preferences.

Every time you send out an envelope you can include this option using the checkbox "Allow recipients to change signing responsibility" in Advanced Options.

Note: If they are not able to see this, you may need to check with your DocuSign Administrator to enable this feature if blocked.

I've been including these instructions to the person who will need to reassign the document.

1. From the envelope, click "OTHER ACTIONS."

2. Click "Assign to Someone Else."

3. Enter the new signer's email address, name, and reason for changing the signing responsibility.

4. When finished, click "ASSIGN TO SOMEONE ELSE."
