Team Sharing for eSigner Document and EV Code Signing Certificates

SSL.com users may share EV code signing and organization validated (OV) document signing certificates with other team members for enrollment in the eSigner cloud signing service.

To follow these instructions, your team member will need a role of account_admin or owner. (Please refer to Your SSL.com Account — Users for information on setting user roles.) Note that if you are sharing a certificate that is already enrolled in eSigner, each new member enrollment will share that certificate. If you are sharing a non-eSigner-enrolled certificate—for example, a YubiKey-installed certificate—a new certificate with the same SubjectDN and expiration will be generated.

Note: Individual validated (IV) document signing certificates are scoped to an individual person and are not eligible for team sharing
