Endorser using

  • Endorser is required only when the transaction is endorsed, that is signed by someone else besides the author.
  • If transaction is endorsed, Endorser must sign the transaction.
  • If author of txn has role ENDORSER, then no multi-sig is required, since he’s already signed the txn.
  • Endorser is required for unprivileged roles only.
  • Unprivileged users cannot submit any transaction (including administrative transactions like pool upgrade or restart) without a signature from a DID with the endorser role that is specified in the endorser field.
