Discover Roles
There are three different roles on Yousign:
Roles are available in Plus, Pro, and Scale subscriptions.
The role defines what the user can or cannot do on Yousign; each role has different permissions:
The price of an additional license does not vary based on the user's role using the license. To invite a user, follow this guide.
The owner and admins can modify the roles of users at any time. To change a user's role, follow this guide.
The owner is by default the person who creates the organization's account; there can only be one owner per organization. If you wish to change it, the current owner can modify their email address in their profile to transfer the account to another person (see how here). If the person you want to transfer rights to already has a Yousign account, contact our team here.

A user’s role (Owner, Admin, Member) applies across the organization, but workspace access levels determine what signature requests they can see and edit in each workspace. Full access lets them see all SRs in a workspace, while Personal access restricts them to their own SRs.
Workspace access levels control signature request visibility:
Roles define organization-level permissions (settings, billing, user management), while workspace access levels determine what signature requests a user can see and edit in each workspace.
