# Setting workflow permissions

Workflow permissions allow the template creator to control **what each signatory can access and perform** during the signing journey. These permissions are configured **at the signatory level** and help enforce document confidentiality and controlled collaboration.

#### Where to Configure

While configuring a **Fixed Form Template**:

1. Go to **Configure Signatory**.
2. Click the **Settings (⚙️)** icon for the required signatory.
3. The **Settings** panel opens, where workflow permissions can be defined.
