What does the full-access permission allow my collaborators?

Choosing the Full access permission type from the dropdown list when sharing a draft will enable your collaborators to do everything to the draft as the owner can do.

The Full access will always have the toggle “Allow sending for signatures” turned on by default and you are not able to turn it off:

The actions included in the Full Access level of permission include:

The only actions a collaborator with full access cannot do are:

  • unshare the document from the owner
  • modify his own permissions

What does Full Access to a document mean for my automations?

The Full Access permission level on your documents enables creating centralized automations. 

The document owner can configure automations without the need for management of the documents that are created as a result of running those automations. You can now allow external collaborators to have managerial control over these documents, by automatically Sharing a document:
