the Shared Access drop down is there, but when trying to share the only option available was to share with the admin only.  Did Docusign take away the ability to share eSignature with others on our account?  That’s how it was set it up previously so that anyone could go to the shared sent folder under the xxxxx_contracts@company_name.com mailbox and look at the status of an envelope.

Hi ​@TKAP—thanks for reaching out!

Let’s walk through a few things that might help clear this up:

  • Make sure you’re signed in the correct account.

  • Take a look at the user’s permission profile. Anyone in DS Viewer or using a custom permission profile without permission to send envelopes will see the “Allow to Edit on Behalf Of”  and “Allow to Send on Behalf Of” options greyed out when you try to share access with them. This is expected as they don’t have permission to send, correct, void, or resend. If the user does have Send permissions but the issue still persists, you can try performing a BTS as the next troubleshooting step 👉 Basic troubleshooting steps for common Docusign issues

  • Most plans include Allow to Manage, but the options “Allow to Edit on Behalf Of” and “Allow to Send on Behalf Of” are only available on certain DocuSign plans. To double‑check whether your plan includes these features or to have the necessary backend settings enabled, please reach out to DocuSign Customer Support 👉 How do I contact Docusign Customer Support?

Hope this helps! If the suggestions above don’t quite match what you’re experiencing, feel free to share more details or send a screenshot of what you’re seeing (with any personal or sensitive info covered).
