Groups provide users in the ability to share documents, templates, envelops, contacts, etc. within Docusign to only the people within the group.  Thus, it can reduce the amount of
duplicate work as well as keep certain objects private within a group. You may belong to multiple groups and you may also request a new group. Please see the process for creating a new group (need to add). 

The following table lists the groups that are currently available for Lehigh University Faculty and Staff.  You will need approval from the group steward to become a member.
