What is a Document Administrator?



Tell Me

  • In DocuSign terms, a Document Administrator is a SOBO User. SOBO stands for Send-On-Behalf-Of. It refers to which area a document belongs to, or what area a document is being filled out for.

  • A Document Administrator is someone who has administrative access to documents in their area. This means that they are able to manipulate documents in ways that others in the area cannot.

  • An advantage of designating someone as a Document Administrator is that they have the ability to make minor adjustments to documents in their area which eliminates delays and gives users more power over their area's documents.

  • Areas can have multiple Document Administrators as some functional areas' documents contain sensitive material that not everyone in the area can access.
