We recently found out that if someone receives a DocuSign email to sign a document, they can forward that email to someone else and that person who they forwarded it to can sign for them in the original recipient's spot and the original recipient's name will show up. Is this a configuration setting or a defect? Why is someone else able to sign for them and have their name show up even though they didn't sign?

This is a configuration setting and can be changed per envelope (as well as the Template), This is an Advanced Option setting called "Allow recipients to change signing responsibility". This also can be disabled at an Account level by your DocuSign Admin in Signing Settings.
