Enabling this setting will show the same setting at the personal level to allow users to select if they prefer to access the RSign® system with the RSign® authentication mechanism (SSO or RSign® credentials) or iManage authentication mechanism (SSO or iManage credentials). Moreover, if SSO is enabled at RPortal for your company and a domain is configured, new users navigating to the RSign® system from iManage will be auto-created and placed under your Company account. If this setting is set to No, new users navigating to the RSign® system from iManage will be auto created under a default account.
- Upload Signed Document: If set to Yes, the final signed document will be automatically stored in iManage. New settings appear allowing the user to select how they need these documents to be stored in iManage. The settings displayed depend on the option selected in the Filing Options for Final Signed Documents setting.

- Checkin Comment: add a comment to the original document to indicate that displays in the document properties in iManage once it has been signed.
- Signing Process Complete Comments: add a comment to the signed document, which displays in iManage document properties.

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 this setting.

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.

Except when not allowed by Company-level settings configuration (Override User Settings and Lock Settings).
