Template Restrictions but allow Signer Role change (Host a Signing on iPad)

Question

Hello all.  I want to publish templates to my sales team.  I do not want them to be able to change the data fields that have been created (move, edit, delete, etc...).  I have figured out how to protect the document....perfect, with one exception.  I do want them to be able to change the Signer Role so they can use their iPads in the field to collect signatures if they are in person. (ie Host a Signing)  By default the signer roles on the templates are set to "Needs to Sign" which shows up as "Remote" on the app.  I would love to do this via the Docusign app but Safari or Chrome access would be okay too.  My suspicion is that by locking down the templates I have also locked down their ability to change the Signer Role.  Any suggestions?

I think the easiest solution would be to create copy the existing template and create a second one already modified for Hosting a Signing. Then your users can simply select which one they want to use for the specific instance.

Hope this helps.
