  3. Click Add Users and select all users who require a license.


Phase 1: Updating the S-Sign License Key

  1. Open the App Launcher in the upper left corner and click View All.

  2. Locate and click S-Docs Setup.

  3. Navigate to S-Sign License Key Page.

  4. Enter your new license key into the License Key field.

  5. Click Update License Key.

  6. Confirm that you receive a Success message.

SSign Experience Cloud User

  • Description: Specifically tailored for Experience Cloud (Community) users.

  • Key Capabilities: * Grants portal users the ability to send S-Sign requests.

  • Description: A mandatory permission set for the public-facing side of the signing process.

  • Key Capabilities: * Provides the necessary access for the Site Guest User profile to interact with S-Docs and S-Sign.

    • Ensures that external signers (who do not have a Salesforce login) can view the document and submit their signature via the S-Sign Site.

    • Note: This permission set is intend to be applied to the S-Sign Site Site Guest User


⏳ Legacy Permissions

S-Sign Site Internal User (Legacy)

  • Description: A specialized permission set for specific older configurations.

  • Key Capabilities: * Grants access to S-Docs/S-Sign specifically for users who are authenticated via the SSign Connected App.

    • Generally used in legacy environments or specific architectural setups where the Connected App is the primary driver for S-Sign actions.


Note: Permission Sets give functional access to object, apex classes, visual force pages, and more. Sharing Settings give record level access to S-Docs and S-Sign Objects. It is recommended to limit record level access and extend access through Sharing Rules.
