Question

Using a service/ technical account for a partner Sign API application

The Adobe sign APIs require users to authenticate via OAuth flows

 

To make the user experience in our app more fluid, is it possible to use a service/techinal account or maybe even service to service oauth credentials when authenticating with Sign APIs on behalf of our users. The authorization request will usually lead to a user logging in with their own crednetials.

 

I have been tinkering with the above but have been unable to get them to work with the Sign APIs. I see there is a legacy "Integration API key" option available, but I think OAuth is a requirement for new applications.

 

Without some sort of service/technical account, users would each have to authenticate with adobe sign when sending a document for signing for the first time. It would be preferrable if an admin was able to configure Adobe Sign once for everyone in the account.
