After you have opted an existing site collection, or have created a new site collection in your SharePoint environment, to install SigningHub for SharePoint you need to:

1. Create required permission levels in the site collection on which the add-in is required to install, and 

2. Assign the permission levels to SharePoint site groups as required.

These permission levels are used to give a restricted end-user access of SigningHub for SharePoint to the site collection. A SharePoint site group having all these permissions will have full access to the SigningHub for SharePoint add-in.

To comply with the SigningHub standards, the permission names should be:

SH-SETTINGS

Allows users to access the admin related configurations option within the add-in.

SH-CHECKSTATUS

Allows users to access the check documents status option within the add-in.

SH-SHARE

Allows users to access the share documents option within the add-in.

SH-SIGN

Allows users to access the sign documents option within the add-in.

SH_SETTINGS_ACCOUNT

Allows users to access the Account Setting sub-section of the configuration's options.

SH_SETTINGS_USER

Allows users to access the User Setting sub-section of the configuration's options.

SH_SETTINGS_DOCUMENT

Allows users to access the Documents Setting sub-section of the configuration's options.

SH_SETTINGS_ADVANCE

Allows users to access the Advanced Setting sub-section of the configuration's options.

SH_SETTINGS_AUTOPULL

Allows users to access the AutoPull Setting sub-section of the configuration's options.

SH_SETTINGS_LOCATION

Allows user to access the Completed Documents Location of the configuration’s options.

Please note that permission names are case-sensitive, and any deviation in them or skipping any permission may possibly lead to SigningHub for SharePoint malfunction. Consider an example of creating the "SH-SETTINGS" permission, the same process can be followed to create other three as well. Once you are done, you need to assign these permission levels to your SharePoint user's groups as required.


1. Browse the SharePoint site link (on which SigningHub add-in is required to install) and log into your Office 365 account with SharePoint administrator credentials.

2. Click and select the "Site settings" option.

3. Click the "Site permissions" option.

4. Click the "Permission Levels" option.

5. Click the "Add a Permission Level" option.

6. The "Add a Permission Level" page will appear. Specify the permission name as "SH-SETTINGS" and its description in the provided fields.

Now scroll down the "Add a Permission Level" page and select the "Enumerate Permissions" check box, as marked with the red arrow.

Repeat the steps 5, 6 and 7 to create other permissions as well in the same way.

After creating all four permissions, wait for 15-30 minutes to make these changes effective in your SharePoint account. It is also recommended to logout from your browser and re-login.
