Set Up an Account Owner for an Organization – Proof Help Center
The article explains how to set up a single primary account owner for a Proof organization account—who has full admin rights and receives mandatory transaction notifications—by logging in with temporary credentials, updating personal and security information including multi-factor authentication, and provides a checklist and support options for assistance.
How It Works
Owners have the same rights as admins but serve as the primary account contact for all matters, including billing.
- Accounts can have multiple admins but only one owner.
- An owner is required for every account or parent account, but not for child accounts linked to a parent account.
The account owner's email address receives a notification whenever a transaction is completed. These notifications cannot be turned off — choose an actively monitored email address so you don't miss important updates.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Overview
Proof employs multi-factor authentication (MFA) to enhance security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors—knowledge, possession, or inherence—where login MFA, mandatory for all notary accounts, protects account access via codes sent by text or authenticator apps, while transaction MFA, available only to organizations, verifies recipient identity through phone authentication with premium tiers allowing voice call options for sign-only transactions.
