User

On this page, you will learn how to manage your organization's Users via API.

Users are collaborators with a Yousign app license. They are able to send Signature Requests, save Contacts, and use Templates and forms from the Yousign app. Their access rights depend on their role and the workspaces they are attached to.

As of today, Users can be fully managed from the app (invite a new User, delete invitation, etc.), and only partially from the API.
See this article for more details on Users management from the app.
