Hello,
When setting up a tool using the DocuSign API, do you need to login and sign with a personal account?
In our case we are setting up a DocuSign integration with our internal Software for customers.
So a customer must personally sign and be liable for all signatures done in Docusign under that application?
+3Hi
No. You can use OAuth. For automated service integrations, use JWT Grant to impersonate a designated user without interactive login after consent; for user-driven apps, use Authorization Code Grant with user login. Actions are performed on behalf of the Docusign user tied to the access token, not a personal developer account.
Signatures must be completed by the recipients themselves (remote or embedded signing). Your app cannot sign on a person’s behalf.
Liability and audit trail: the Certificate of Completion records who sent and who signed; envelopes are attributed to the Docusign user whose token sent them, and signatures are attributable to each recipient.
I hope to have answered your questions. If you want more details on how to implement that I’d recommend checking the documentation found here.
If you have further questions or need a more in dept explanation, I’d recommend opening a case with the support team so we can schedule a call and go through this information in more detail.
