The "Generate self-signed certificate" feature allows users with the appropriate permissions to reissue digital certificates for one or multiple users. This feature is useful in cases where the self-signed digital certificate has expired or when the user needs to issue a new certificate with updated information. This self-signed digital certificate will be used during authentication when E-sign or Sign draw or eKYC sign documents.
