Good morning. We have a paid-work DocuSign account assigned to one email. That person fully created the account and changed the original password. Now that person is on extended leave and no one has access to action anything. He is not reachable. We’ve not used any functions as it was just renewed for another year and we don’t want to let it go to waste. Plus when the person returns he will no longer need access to DocuSign. 

 

Is there anyway that email can be removed and another email can be registered as the admin? I have that persons email and what we believe to be the original password. Another office took care of payment, so I’ll be able to get any information from them as well.

 

Please let me know if this is possible and thank you!

Hi ​@Jebals90— thanks for reaching out!

It’s completely understandable that you want to regain control of the account so your operations aren’t disrupted.

It sounds like there’s only one Administrator on the account, right? Here’s the guide on how to change the email address on a DocuSign account 👉 Change Your Email Address

Making this update generally requires access to the account. For your situation, the next steps depend on your setup:

  • If your account is part of an Organization with a claimed domain, an Org Admin can update the email address for you.

  • If you have a department IT email administrator, your IT department can take over the email address/account or set up forwarding from the previous admin’s inbox. Mail administrators can directly access the inbox of any user under the company domain. This is often necessary when resetting the password since the reset email will still go to the old admin’s email. Once successfully reset, follow the article Change Your Email Address.

  • If SSO is enabled, email address changes should be made within your organization’s Identity Provider (IdP).

However, if the account was created using a public email domain (e.g., hotmail.comgmail.comoutlook.com, Charter.net) DocuSign Support will not be able to help you regain access to the account.
