SigningHub supports accounts multi-tenancy that enables an organisation to define custom signing policies for their external users (i.e. clients, partners, contractors, etc.). The external users are those document recipients who are not a part of your enterprise, they may be a part of other enterprise or individual or guest users, and you require them to sign your enterprise documents within a tightly integrated app environment.

In other words, if an Enterprise A requires their documents to be signed by the users of Enterprise B or guest users within an integrated app environment (i.e. Salesforce, SharePoint, MS Dynamics CRM, etc.), then they can assign a default or specific user role to these (external) users, to implement their (Enterprise A) signing policy on such users.

With a default user role assigned, all the external users can use a centralised signing policy as laid out in the "Signature Settings" and "Signature Appearance" tabs of the default role. However, in addition to a default role assignment, SigningHub also lets you assign custom user roles to external users on individual basis as required. 

In this way, when such external users attempt to sign your enterprise documents, SigningHub will supersede the signing policy (defined in the default role or in their enterprise role or their personal) with the ones defined in the user roles you have assigned to them. This is useful when an organisation needs to enforce a customised signature policy for certain external users. For more details, visit Ascertia's Partner Portal for Configuration Guide.
