Admin console functionality

Admins with the Sign Standard add-on will have access to both the admin console on dropbox.com and the Dropbox Sign admin console.

The Dropbox Sign admin console allows you to edit settings under three different categories: Reporting, Settings, and Security.

Admins that don't have the add-on license purchased for themselves won't be able to view signature request activity on sign.dropbox.com and access some of the features available to admins in Sign, such as sending reminders and editing signers for pending signature requests. 

However, they’ll be able to see the signature requests and templates created by their team members with the add-on in the signature hub. They will also have access to the Sign admin console to change settings for their team members.

Signatures setting

Toggling the Signatures setting in the Dropbox admin console to “On” or “Off” will only impact signature features within Dropbox. Users with the add-on will still be able to access advanced signature features through sign.dropbox.com. 

When this toggle is turned off, admins won’t have access to the signature hub on dropbox.com to view team members’ signature activities. Instead, you can access sign.dropbox.com to manage the team’s signature documents and templates on the Home page.

Activity log

Signature activities performed by members of your team with the add-on through sign.dropbox.com won’t appear in the activity log and external sharing report on the Dropbox admin console. You can access this information through the Reporting section of the Dropbox Sign admin console.

External sharing

To turn off sharing documents outside members of the team, team admins can go to the Sharing section of Settings in the Dropbox admin console and toggle Get documents signed to “Off”. This will prevent external sharing on both Dropbox and Dropbox Sign.

Templates

To turn off team members’ ability to create and edit templates, team admins can go to the Signatures section of Settings in the Dropbox admin console and toggle Creating and editing templates to “Off”. This will prevent template editing and creation on both Dropbox and Dropbox Sign.
