# Configuring Electronic Signature-protected Security

You can configure the Electronic Signature-protected security for documents as follows. You can perform the following procedure either from Desk or from Viewer. If you are configuring multiple documents with the same settings, use Desk which allows you to configure multiple documents at once. The binders are manipulated in the same manner.

## Preparing Electronic Signatures

You must place beforehand, the Electronic Signatures of the users whom you will allow to open a document or manipulate it in full access mode, in the [Trusted Signature] tab of your Electronic Signature Case.

## Configuring the Electronic Signature-protected security

You can specify the Electronic Signatures to which you will grant the permission to open a document or manipulate it in full access mode as follows. Electronic Signatures that are granted full access are granted the permission to open the document as well.

Note

- If you don't specify the Electronic Signatures stored in the [My Signature] tab for [Signature capable of opening the document] and [Signature capable of entering full access mode], you will not be able to open the protected documents you created or modify their security settings.
- Settings made in Viewer are reflected when the document is saved. If you close the document without saving it, the security settings are not reflected.
- The expiration date of an Electronic Signature is checked when you configure the security. However, it is not checked when you try to open a protected document using the Electronic Signature or manipulate the document in full access mode. This is a feature designed to prevent a problem where no one can open a document that has been stored for a long time.
