I need to speak with someone in support, but cannot submit a support ticket or get anyone on the phone to answer my question. I need to change my user name so that it is correct when emails are sent to my customers. I have tried to update it under Admin, Users, Actions, Edit, but I keep getting an error message “An error occurred while getting user detail”.  I need to change a simple thing and cannot get anyone interact with me in any way from DocuSign!

Hello ​@Simpson Galleries,

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We are thrilled to have you here and look forward to sharing as much knowledge as we can.

I see you are experiencing issues changing your username in DocuSign and difficulties contacting support. I understand the frustration especially when you need the change to reflect correctly in emails sent. I sincerely apologize, and I will make effort to help.

I noticed that you attempted to change your username through Admin > Users > Actions, Edit. Please try changing it from your Profile instead. You can find the instructions here: Change Your Name.

You can also perform the troubleshooting below:

  • Check if the browser needs to be updated.
  • Log out and Log back into the account.
  • Clear history and cache/cookies and set it to "All time."
  • Try a different browser(s).
  • Try to use Incognito. 
  • Different Internet network such as on a mobile device using data with Wi-Fi disabled.
  • Try a different device.
  • Enable/disable VPN if applicable.

If the issue persists, it's best to open a support case so a Technical expert can take a closer look at the error message. Regarding the issue of creating a case, please provide more details. You can refer to this comprehensive guide:: How can I request a phone call from Docusign Support? For users on a paid plan, there is an alternative method to create a case without logging into your account by utilizing the section at the bottom of the pagehttps://support.docusign.com/s/contactSupport?language=en_US&rsc_301
