# Advanced Settings
### Advanced Signatory Verification (Optional Settings) The **Advanced Settings** section allows administrators and initiators to apply additional identity verification and security controls for external users—before they are allowed to sign a document. These settings enhance signer assurance and are typically used for high-value, sensitive, or compliance-driven workflows. *** ### Screen Overview The **Advanced Settings** panel is available as part of the **Signatory Configuration** and is optional.\ It provides controls for: * Demographic validation * OTP Authentication * Liveness/Facematch * ID-based verification The options displayed depend on account configuration, participant type, and administrative permissions. *** ### Verify Demographic Data When enabled, this option validates signer details (such as name or identifier) against available verification data during the signing process. * Helps ensure that the signer’s identity matches the expected participant details. * Commonly used in regulated or identity-sensitive workflows. *** ### User Authentication Options The **Users will authenticate through** setting defines the level of verification required before a participant can sign. #### None * No additional authentication beyond standard access controls. * Suitable for low-risk or internal workflows. *** #### Basic / Advanced Authentication Enables additional verification methods that may include one or more of the following: **OTP Authentication** * A one-time password is sent to the signer’s registered contact method. * The signer must successfully validate the OTP before signing. **Liveness / Face Match** * Confirms the physical presence of the signer. These methods increase confidence in signer authenticity while maintaining a smooth signing experience. *** #### ID Verification Enables identity verification using officially recognized identification methods. **Country** Defines the country context for ID verification. * Available verification methods may vary by country. **ID Verification Type** Allows selection of an appropriate ID verification mechanism based on regional compliance and account configuration. ID verification is typically used when: * Regulatory compliance is required * Higher assurance of signer identity is needed * External signers are involved *** ### Saving Advanced Settings Click **Save** to apply the selected advanced verification settings for the participant.\ These settings are applied before the signer is allowed to proceed to the signing stage. *** ### Notes * Advanced Settings are applied to external participants. * Available authentication and verification methods depend on: * Account configuration * Regional regulations * Administrator permissions * These settings directly impact the signer’s verification flow during signing. *** ### Best Practices * Use OTP or ID verification for external or unknown signers. * Enable liveness checks for high-risk or legally sensitive documents. * Avoid unnecessary verification steps for low-risk workflows to maintain signer experience. * Align verification strength with organizational and regulatory requirements.
