ViewSign Cloud User Guide Introduction

Basic Concepts

eSignAnyWhere is a platform for electronic signing of digital documents. You can send out documents (in form of envelopes) to recipients for signing, acknowledge or receiving a copy.

Organisation, User, Roles and Teams

An eSignAnyWhere Organisation (initial account) can exists of:

• Organisation: The user, who creates the initial account, will also create the organisation. The organisation exists of one to many users (e.g. similar to a company).
• User: A user is always part of an organisation. You can add users to your organisation (depending on your license and select plan).
• User-Role: The user-role defines the rights of the user in the organisation. The role “user manager” is an administrator of the organisation, the “power user” is a user, who can send envelopes for signing. The “registered signer” can use eSignAnyWhere as a signing platform to sign his/her documents and can use it as an document inbox. For more information please have a look at the roles and permissions guide.
• Teams (optional): Teams are a subset of users of your organisation. Within the team you can define some special rights (e.g. manage sent envelopes of your team members) and define a team leader, who always accesses the envelopes of her/his team.
