Who can update recipient information in a DocuSign envelope?

In DocuSign, the ability to update recipient information in an envelope is a specific functionality assigned to the manager recipient type. This type of recipient is designated with special privileges, allowing them to have administrative powers over other recipients within the same envelope. Their role enables them not only to view documents but also to make changes to recipient details such as names, email addresses, or roles, which is crucial for managing the signing process effectively.

While senders typically have control over the content of the envelope, including who receives it and what they need to sign, they do not have the capability to modify recipient information once the envelope has been sent. An account administrator has broader control over settings and users within an account but does not have access to modify details specific to individual envelope recipients.

Therefore, the distinction of the manager recipient type as the only role that can update recipient information makes it essential for scenarios where adjustments are necessary while the envelope is still in progress, ensuring that the signing workflow remains seamless and efficient.
