If you have ever signed a Docusign form here at the University of Washington, you already have a "UW Signers" profile in Docusign. It is created automatically the first time you sign an envelope in Docusign and facilitates your completion of that form with our Single Sign-On using your UW NetID.  Permissions are limited to being able to ONLY sign envelopes that are sent to you. Limitations include:

• Sending envelopes: You cannot use a UW Signers account to send envelopes or use any other parts of Docusign.
  • If you log in to Docusign and find you have an account but cannot send an envelope, it’s likely because a department-specific account hasn’t been set up for you; OR,
  • If you had a department-specific account set up, you need to switch over to your departmental profile which will have additional permissions. Visit the Docusign support portal and learn how to Switch Between Docusign Accounts.
  • If you need permission to send envelopes but do not have an account, reach out to your team's Delegated Administrator, who will be able to set one up for you. 
• Delegated Administrator access: If you are looking to become a Delegated Administrator for your team, you can fill out the Become a Delegated Admin form to begin the process.
