Group Signing lets a group of signers approve an envelope, message, or transaction together. Instead of a single signer making the decision, the group decides based on a rule that says how many people must sign. There are two different available configuration for the group signing:
- n out of n scenario
- means all the recipients within a group needs to sign
- n out of m scenario
- means a configured number of recipients of the whole group needs to sign the envelope
In an n-of-n group, every signer in the group must sign the envelope before the group signing is considered as finished.
