DocuSeal like-a-Pro (Community Edition)

Fork of DocuSeal with select Pro features "unlocked" (read: vibe-coded) as open source.

This fork adds features that are not part of the opensource version of DocuSeal, making them available for self-hosted deployments under the same AGPL-3.0 license.

Disclaimer:

I never had any access to the Pro Version and I have no idea how DocuSeal LLC implemented these features. I don't even think that "white-room copy" would be the right description here. I did not review, copy, or use any copyright-protected source code from DocuSeal LLC. The changes in this repo are "designed" based on the official API documentation and feature spotlights on the website or what I thought these features should look like. The plan of this repo is not to challenge Docuseal's position; I just needed some features that I thought were simple enough to vibe code and play around with. I would not recommend using this fork for a production environment, and I can't guarantee maintenance at all. If you need a professional, reliable solution, stick with the upstream project or buy a subscription with Docuseal! Support companies that are providing open-source solutions!

vibe-coded "Pro" Features

Feature	Status	Description
Company logo / white-label	Done	Upload your logo in Settings > Personalization. Displayed in signing forms and emails.
Automated reminders	Done	Configure reminder intervals per-account. Pending signers receive scheduled follow-up emails.
Template creation via API	Done	`POST /api/templates/pdf` and `PUT /api/templates/:id/documents` — create and manage templates programmatically with field coordinates or embedded text tags.
Professional email design	Done	Table-based responsive email layout with company branding, styled CTA buttons, and proper footer.
Teams & user roles	Done	Multi-team support with admin/editor roles. Editors see only their team's documents. Admins can move folders between teams.

See docs/API.md for full API reference on the new endpoints.

Teams & Roles

This fork implements team-based access control with two roles:

Role	Access
Admin	Full access to all teams, users, settings, and resources in the account
Editor	Full access to templates, submissions, and documents within their team only. Can manage personalization, API keys, and webhooks. Cannot manage users, teams, or account settings.

Key features:

Create multiple teams per account (Settings > Teams)
Assign users to teams with role selection
Editors are scoped to their team — they only see templates, submissions, and folders belonging to their team
Admins can move entire folders (with all templates and submissions) to another team via the folder edit modal
API tokens respect the user's role and team membership
Migrations handle both greenfield installs and existing deployments (auto-creates a "Default" team and backfills)

What's NOT included

These Pro features remain unavailable in this fork (they require significant UI/infrastructure work):

SMS invitation and verification
Conditional fields and formulas
Bulk send with CSV/XLSX import
SSO / SAML
Template creation with HTML or DOCX API
Embedded form builder components
