Participants in Agreements

Participants are the individuals who sign, approve, or observe an agreement — driving the e-signing process from start to finish.


The Role of Participants​

Participants are the core of every agreement. Their actions — signing, approving, or observing — determine the flow and outcome of the signing process.

Each participant is assigned a specific role that defines their responsibility in the agreement. Understanding these roles is key to building a secure and well-structured signing flow.


Participant Types​

  • Signers — Provide a legally binding electronic signature. At least one signer is required for any agreement.
  • Approvers — Review and approve or reject the agreement. Approvers do not sign but can stop the process if they disapprove.

For more details, see Participant Roles.


Identity Enforcement​

  • What It Is — Adds an extra layer of security by verifying a participant’s identity before they can sign.
  • Supported Method — Currently supports Swedish Mobile BankID for signer verification.

Read more in the Identity Enforcement guide.


Signing Order​

  • Sequence Control — Define the order in which participants act, whether sequentially, in groups, or all at once.
  • Structured Process — Ensures the agreement progresses according to your business rules.

Learn how it works in the Signing Order guide.


Building a Reliable Signing Experience​

Effectively managing participants — including their roles, signing order, and identity verification — is essential for a smooth, compliant, and secure e-signing process.
