Signee is asked to sign in to Adobe Sign on MS Teams, why?

I can send documents to email and the recipient can open the document, sign it and submit it, all OK.

 

However, when a document is sent to a recipient through MS Teams, the recipient is asked to log into an Adobe Sign account, why? This is not what I want, I want the recipient to be able to open the document, sign it, and submit it.

 

I have hundreds of MS Teams users, I cannot be installing the Adobe Sign app onto everyone's machine and creating accounts just so they can sign a document. What is going on here? The document I create has the option 'Identity Check' set to NONE.

 

Can anyone assist please.

Steve.

Hi,

We have got to the bottom of the issue. The problem was, we were selecting DIGITAL SIGNATURE and it is this option that requires the signer to have an account and be signed in. Choosing E-Sinature, Signature, or Signature Box works perfectly and the signee does not need to be logged into Adobe sign or Adobe Acrobat sign. Could i ask, what is the purpose of the DIGITAL SIGNATURE option?

 

Kind Regards,

Steve.


Hi SteveB112 ,

 

Thank you for sharing the information here. Glad to know that changing the signature type helped. It will help others here with a similar problem.

 

Digital Signature is a type of Electronic Signature that uses a certificate-based Digital ID obtained from a cloud-based trust service provider or the signer's local system. Most business transactions require a digital ID from a trusted third-party provider, called a certificate authority. For more information, please refer to the following help document: https://adobe.ly/3YRVat5

 

If you wish, you may disable the digital signature field from the Account Settings. The option will not appear when you add signature fields. Use the following steps:

1. Go to Account Settings > Digital Signature. 

2. Unmark the "Download and Sign with Acrobat" and "Cloud Signature" boxes.

3. Click on the Save button at the bottom.

It will remove the option from the Signature Fields type on the "Preview & Add Signature" page. 

 

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi SteveB112,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Please confirm if the users are asked to sign in to the Acrobat Sign or the MS Teams accounts. Could you please share more information and a screen recording to better understand what is happening here? You can send a document to your alternate email address for testing purposes. 

Also, please check with your account administration if they have changed the settings. 

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi,
 
Thank you for your response. I have added the images below to demonstrate what is happening. The user is already signed into MS Teams and receives a message about signing a document. He clicks on it and is asked to sign into Adobe Sign.

By any chance did you ask for an authentication with Adobe Sign?
