Deactivated Adobe Sign Users cannot sign documents sent to them for signature

We have two individuals, because of changing roles in the organization, have been deactivated in Adobe Sign. Whenever they receive a request to sign a document from outside the organization and click on the link embedded in the email, they are asked to log into Adobe Sign, but cannot because their account is inactive. Their names show up on the inactive list, can I get them off the inactive list or should I take another approach.

Hi Mikec,

Sorry for the delay in response.

As the accounts are inactive they will not be able to sign in to the Adobe Sign account.

As these accounts are created under the organization account, their activity depends on the main account.

You need to activate those accounts. It can be done only by the administrator of the account.

If you wish to free those account from the organization account, you need to contact support for this.

Please refer the steps mentioned below to contact the team:

Login your adobe sign account directly via https://secure.echosign.com/public/login
Once logged in, check the upper right corner of the page and click the question mark icon.
It will re-direct you to the page where you can create a support ticket or initiate chat.

Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Regards,

Meenakshi

I am running into the same issue that I've seen discussed on multiple threads in this community, document is sent to me to sign, I click the link and receive the following error messages:

"Please login as an authorized signer in order to view and sign this document."
"Your account has been deactivated. Please contact your support staff."

Before migrating to a Small Business Account in February 2021 we never ran into this issue. Previously I was not asked to sign into Adobe to sign the docuement.

We have been unable to get this fixed after spending many, many hours in chat support and on calls with Adobe Support. I am desperate to get this solved. 4 months without Adobe Sign working properly is killing us.

Hi Patrickh,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Are you still experiencing the issue?

If yes, please confirm if you are using the same email address for Adobe Sign that you have used to sign in to the community?

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I recently had my Adobe Sign account deactivated because the license was tranferred to another co-worker. However, when I recieve an email request to sign a document, I get an error message saying "please login as an authorized signer in order to view and sign this document." I thought the person who is signing a document is not required to have an account so I am not sure how to fix this.

My organization is having this issue as well. Same exact scenario - user is listed as an inactive user because he/she no longer needs to send agreements, however, when he/she recieves an document for e-signature, they get the message "please login as an authorized signer in order to view and sign this document."

There is not a link to chat or contact support using the directions just received. When I click on the Contact Us link, there is not an option to select Sign as a product.

You will receive the options only when you are signed in to the paid account.

Adobe Sign support team is tasked to handle the post-sales support requests.

Please ask the admin of the account to sign-in to Adobe Sign account and then use the steps mentioned above.

I will be sending you a private message with further details. Please check your inbox.
