# Group signing

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


## What it means

### Group signing (n out of n)

In an n-of-n group, every signer in the group must sign the envelope before the group signing is considered as finished.

#### When it is useful

- When you want full agreement from everyone
- Important actions that require total consensus


### Group signing (n out of m)

In an n-of-m group, you only need n signatures out of the total m signers in the group.

#### When it is useful

- When not everyone is always available
- Committees or teams that make decisions by majority or quorum
