NetDocuments is a cloud-based document and email management service that provides enterprise-level security, mobility, disaster recovery, and collaboration solutions for organizations.
The RSign® system has an out-of-the-box integration with NetDocuments that allows users to send NetDocuments files for e-signature and have the final signed document automatically saved back in NetDocuments.
The present document covers the configurations required for Admins to enable the NetDocuments-RSign integration. It includes the following sections:
- Enabling the “Send-to-RSign” connector in NetDocuments
- Adding NetDocuments as an external drive in the RSign® system
- Enabling Upload Signed Document settings and default to all company users
- Creating the service account in NetDocuments
Pre-requisites
- An RSign® Customer Admin account.
- A NetDocuments account with administrator permissions
IMPORTANT: Admins need to have valid RSign® and NetDocuments accounts with required permissions.

6. As a last step, go to the System tab in your Admin Settings and check the box to add NetDocuments to the list of available drives. Use the options Override User Settings and Lock Settings as needed.
Enabling Upload Signed Document settings and default to all company users
This section covers the process for the RSign® admins to enable and configure the Upload Signed Document settings for all users within the company. Please note that this is an optional step meant to simplify the integration configuration process across all RSign® users of your company allowing a quick homogeneous setup.
If you are an RSign® admin and want to define the Upload Signed Document-related settings to be applied to all users under your company, please follow these steps:
1. Navigate to RSign>Settings>Company>External Drives Setup>NETDOCUMENTS.
2. By default, the Upload Signed Document configuration will be disabled. If you wish signed documents to be sent back into NetDocuments, the setting needs to be enabled by clicking on Y.
3. When the admin enables these settings for a specific company then these settings are enforced for all users under that company if the admin checks the Override User Settings checkbox associated with each of the settings.
4. Override User Settings provides the ability for an RSign® admin to override the user-level settings of all the users in the company. The Override settings can be applied to a single setting, multiple settings, or all by selecting the top checkbox.
5. Once the desired setting is selected and saved all users in that account will have those values for the selected settings. The user may change them later if they need to.
6. If the admin wishes to prevent users from making any future changes to these settings, then the Lock Settings option can be used by selecting the checkbox associated with each setting.
7. Lock Settings provides the ability for an admin to lock an individual setting so that all the users within the company cannot edit it. The Lock Settings can be applied to a single setting, multiple settings, or all by selecting the top checkbox.
8. If the admin decides to use the feature Lock Settings, once the settings are saved, they are now locked and not editable in the Personal tab for all users in the company.
9. In the Personal tab, the locked settings show a red lock icon, as indicated in the image below. Only admins can unlock settings by unchecking the Lock Settings checkbox in the Company tab.
10. The History icon (at the right) is associated with each setting in the COMPANY and PERSONAL tabs. When selected, it shows all the changes that were made to the associated setting.
11. Please note that the same Upload Signed Document-related settings are available under PERSONAL settings. If a user updates any specific settings in the PERSONAL settings, then the personal settings of the user take precedence. Except when not allowed by Company-level settings configuration (Override User Settings and Lock Settings).
12. Admins can find a detailed explanation of each of the Upload Signed Document-related settings in the RSign® service for NetDocuments - User Guide.
