- Once a user is deleted, their account and all associated data are permanently removed. OpenSign does not keep deleted user records and restoration is not possible.
- To delete a user:
- Click the Delete button next to the user you want to remove.
- A confirmation popup will appear.
- Enter the user’s email in the input box and click Delete.
- After deletion, the user (and all related data) will be permanently erased.

🔁 Change Password
-
OpenSign allows admins to update a team user's password whenever required.
-
To change a user’s password:
- Navigate to Settings → Users and click the Change Password button next to the user whose password needs to be updated.
- Enter the new password on the reset password screen and submit.
-
The user’s password will be successfully updated, and they will no longer be able to log in using the old password.
🔁 Add API Credits
-
OpenSign allows admins to assign API credits to team users. This feature helps control and limit how many API-based document operations a user can perform.
-
A team user can only use the number of credits allocated by the admin.
- For example, if an admin assigns 100 API credits, the user can perform API actions only until those 100 credits are consumed.
- Once credits are exhausted, the admin can add more.
- Example: If the admin wants to give the user 50 additional credits, they must enter the updated total — 150 credits. After updating, the user will have 50 usable credits remaining.
-
How to add API credits:
- Navigate to Settings → Users and click the Add Credits button next to the user who needs add API credits.
- Enter the number of credits to allocate and submit.
-
The user will now be able to use the assigned API credits up to the new limit.
⚡ Note: Credits can only be added if the selected user has an active API token.
How to create an API token for a team user:
- Log in using the team user's email address.
- Navigate to Settings → API Token.
- Generate a live API token.
Once the API token is created, the admin can assign API credits to that user.

👥 Buy More Users (Buy Additional Seats)
OpenSign allows you to create users based on the number of seats included in your selected plan. For example, if your current plan includes 2 users, you can only create 2 users by default. To add a third user, you must purchase additional seats.
Steps to Buy More Users
- Click "Buy more users"
- A popup titled Add Seats will appear.
- Enter Quantity – specify how many additional users (seats) you want to purchase.
- The cost will be calculated automatically based on your plan rate (e.g., USD 100 per user).
- Click the Proceed button to finalize the purchase.
- The seats will be immediately added to your account.
- Once you’ve purchased additional seats, click the "+" Add User button to create the new user.
💡 Tip: You can also purchase additional seats in advance to avoid interruptions during user onboarding.
🔢 Understanding "Available Seats"
At the bottom-right of the Users page, you’ll see the Available seats status.
Example:
Available seats: 2/3
This means:
- 2 seats are currently available for creating new users.
- 3 is the total number of user seats your organization has purchased.
If the available seats count is 0, you must buy more seats before adding new users.
📌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I pay for purchased add-on users?
A: After purchasing additional users (seats), your saved card will be charged automatically, and an invoice will be emailed to your registered address.
If no card is on saved, a payment link will be sent to your email to complete the transaction.
