BEFORE YOU BEGIN Signature profiles must be configured and users assigned to them before working with user signatures. For more information, see the articles Getting Started with Email Signatures and Profiles & Deployment Strategies.

Overview

User Signature Visibility is an administrative feature in Inky that gives you a centralized view of every user's email signature status and profile assignment. Use this feature to audit which signature profile applies to any user, verify whether users have opted in or personalized their signature, and preview exactly what a user's signature looks like in outbound mail.

How it works

The Email Signatures page includes a Users tab that displays the User Signatures table. The table lists all users in your environment with a summary of their signature configuration. Selecting any row opens a detail view for that user, showing their full profile assignment, opt status, personalized fields, and a rendered preview of their signature.

User Signatures table

The User Signatures table, found under the Users tab on the Email Signatures page, lists every user in your Inky environment alongside a snapshot of their current signature configuration. You can search for a specific user or scroll through the list.

User

The user's display name and email address.

Status

Indicates the user’s Team Signature feature status.

  • Disabled: The feature is not enabled for the profile assigned to this user.

  • Enabled: The feature is enabled for the profile assigned to this user.

  • Exclude Group: The user is in the Exclude Group and is not eligible for this feature.

  • Not in Include Group: The user is not in the Include Group and is not eligible for this feature.

Team Signature

Indicates whether the user is using the Team Signature feature based on the assigned profile settings.

  • Opted In: The feature is off by default, but the user has opted in and is using the team signature.

  • Opted Out: The feature is on by default, but the user has opted out and is not using the team signature.

  • Not Opted In: The feature is off by default, and the user has not opted in.

  • Not Opted Out: The feature is on by default, and the user has not opted out.

  • Required: The feature is on and the user cannot opt out.

Note: An em-dash (—) means the Team Signature feature is disabled for the assigned profile.

Personal Signature

Indicates whether the user is using the Personal Signature feature based on the assigned profile settings.

  • Disabled: The feature is not enabled.

  • Opted In: The feature is off by default but the user has opted in and can personalize their signature.

  • Opted Out: The feature is on by default but the user has opted out and cannot personalize their signature.

  • Not Opted In: The feature is off by default and the user has not opted in.

  • Not Opted Out: The feature is on by default and the user has not opted out.

  • Required: The feature is on and signatures are personalized with API or user-provided data. The user cannot opt out.

Profile Name

The name of the signature profile assigned to the user. Users can be matched to only one profile at a time.

When a user belongs to multiple profile assignment groups, the profile highest in the priority order takes precedence. See How Profiles Work in Profiles and Deployment Strategies.

Personalized

Indicates whether the user has modified their own signature fields. When a user personalizes a field, the user-entered value overrides the directory value for that field in the signature.

User detail view

Clicking anywhere on a user’s row opens a detailed view of their individual signature settings.

This includes the full breakdown of how their signature is configured, including which fields have been personalized, if any, and what value the directory provides versus what the user has entered.

The following information from the User Signatures table is included in detail view:

  • User name, email address

  • Signature status

  • Team Signature

  • Personal Signature

  • Profile Name

  • Personalized

Personalized fields

If the user modified their signature, details are shown here. This example shows that the user modified the Full name retrieved from the directory.

Preview

Preview shows exactly what the user's signature looks like in outbound emails, including any values they have personally overridden.

How to...

View a user's signature status

To confirm what signature a specific user is receiving, complete the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Admin Center > Email Signatures.

  2. Click the Users tab.

  3. Search for the user by name or email address, or scroll through the list.

  4. Review the user’s data for an at-a-glance summary.

  5. Click anywhere on the user's row to open the detail view.

FAQ

Why can't I see a user's signature on the Users page?

The user may be in the Inky Exclude Group, or no signature profile has been assigned to them. Users in the Exclude Group do not receive any Inky features, including email signatures. Exclusion applies to Inky as a whole. You cannot exclude a user from signatures only. If the user should be receiving a signature, confirm they are in the Inky Include Group and are matched to an active signature profile.

A user is in two profile assignment groups. Which profile do they receive?

Users can be matched to only one profile at a time. The profile that appears highest in the priority order takes precedence. Signature profiles are evaluated top-down. The first profile in the list whose assignment criteria match the user is applied. To change which profile takes priority for users who qualify for multiple profiles, reorder the profiles list so the intended profile appears higher.

A user's signature preview shows unexpected values. Why?

The user may have personalized one or more signature fields, overriding the directory value. When a user personalizes a field, for example, changing how their name appears, that value overrides what the directory provides. Click the user's row on the Users page to open the detail view and check the Personalized fields section. The detail view shows the directory value and the user-entered value side by side.

What is a Signature Manager and what can they access?

A Signature Manager is a role that grants full access to signature settings without access to Inky's security and phishing detection features. Signature Managers can create, edit, and manage signature profiles and view the Users page, but they cannot access phishing detection data, threat analysis, or any other Inky security settings. This role is useful when a non-security team member, such as someone from marketing, needs to manage signature templates independently.
