Enabling electronic signatures for approval. Electronic signatures are helpful if you
must obtain a digital signature for compliance or auditing purposes.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

You can activate the [Approval with e-signature plugin](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/uRoPgQhLkwu0Pb24hfaSyQ "Installing approval with e-signature installs certain properties.") to require that users type in a user name and password when reviewing and approving documents.

The digital signature is not tracked or stored in the document record. Users must
simply type in a user name and password after clicking the
Approve or Reject button.
