Participants in a document
A document in Mifiel can have signers, reviewers, and viewers. What does each role involve?
Signer
An individual or legal entity who signs the document. By signing, they acquire the rights and assume the obligations arising from its contents. When using an advanced electronic signature, the signer cannot repudiate their signature.
If they use Mifiel’s electronic signature with identity verification, the signature carries a presumption of attribution, as it is a simple electronic signature. If they use their e.firma, the signature also provides a guarantee of non-repudiation, as it is an advanced electronic signature.
You can add signers who use their e.firma at no extra cost. To add signers who use biometric data, you must purchase biometric verification credits.
Reviewer
A person who must approve the document before signatures are requested. Once they approve it, the signers will receive an invitation to sign the document using their e.firma. The reviewer also receives the signed document.
To add reviewers, you must purchase the advanced Approvals feature.


Viewer
A person who does not sign the document but receives email notifications about its status and progress, as well as the signed document (XML and PDF with the signature page). If they have a Mifiel account, they can also track the document’s progress and download it from their account.
Document creators receive the same notifications as viewers, so there is no need to add themselves or the signers as viewers.
You can add viewers at no extra cost.
