如何为信封内指定签署人启用Assign to someone else选项

Great questions! Let's tackle them one by one to clear things up:

1. How to enable "Assign to someone else" for specific signers in an envelope? #

You don’t have to turn on this option for every signer at the envelope level—you can control it per individual signer when setting up your envelope. Here’s how:

• If you’re using the DocuSign web UI: When adding or editing a signer, look for a checkbox labeled something like "Allow signer to assign to someone else" (the exact wording might vary a bit depending on your account settings). Toggle this on only for the signers you want to give reassignment access to.
• If you’re using the API: When defining each signer in your envelope payload, use the allowReassign boolean property. Set it to true for signers who should have the option, and false (or omit it, since false is the default) for those who shouldn’t.

2. Can we enable this only for signers A and B (out of A, B, C) instead of enabling it for everyone? #

Absolutely! This is a common use case, and DocuSign supports it perfectly by letting you set reassignment permissions per signer.

Example API Snippet (Simplified JSON) #

If you’re building the envelope via API, your recipient section would look something like this:

"recipients": {
  "signers": [
    {
      "email": "a@example.com",
      "name": "Signer A",
      "recipientId": "1",
      "allowReassign": true  // Enables reassignment for A
    },
    {
      "email": "b@example.com",
      "name": "Signer B",
      "recipientId": "2",
      "allowReassign": true  // Enables reassignment for B
    },
    {
      "email": "c@example.com",
      "name": "Signer C",
      "recipientId": "3",
      "allowReassign": false // Disables reassignment for C (matches default if omitted)
    }
  ]
}

Web UI Steps #

1. Start creating your envelope and add all three signers (A, B, C).
2. For Signer A and B: Click to edit their details, then check the box that allows reassignment.
3. For Signer C: Leave that box unchecked (it’s disabled by default if you don’t adjust it).

A quick note on envelope-level settings: If you set the envelope-wide allowReassign to true, all signers get reassignment access by default—but you can override this for specific signers by setting their individual allowReassign to false. For your use case, it’s easiest to leave the envelope-level setting as false (the default) and explicitly enable reassignment only for A and B.
