# Template Access

How do I provide access rights to templates for any user or a department?

*Note: Only Admin users have the privilege to grant access rights to internal users/departments.*

### Step 1: Open Template Management

Log in to your emSigner Admin account and click the **Settings** tab in the top navigation bar.

Under the **Document Management** section, click **Create and Manage Document Templates**.

### Step 2: Open the Access Menu for a Template

In the templates list, find the template/activity you want to grant access to and click the **⋮** (three-dot) menu at the end of its row.

From the menu, select **Grant Access**.&#x20;

### Step 3: Search and Select Departments

The **Grant Access** window opens, showing the template name under **Granting access to**.

Under **Departments**, use the **Search and select department** box to find and select one or more departments that should have access to this template (for example, *Finance Department*, *Admin Department*).

### Step 4: Search and Select Users

Under **Users**, use the **Search and select user** box to find and select individual users who should have access (search by name or email).

You can grant access to departments, users, or both in the same action.

### Step 5: Confirm Access

Click **Grant Access** to apply your changes, or **Cancel** to close the window without saving.

Access to the template is granted immediately to the selected departments and/or users.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.emsigner.com/administrator-settings/admin-settings/template-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
