Who can do this: Admin, Partner, Company SecretaryLast checked: 20-10-2026
Find the director
Open the client and click the Directors/KMP & Signatories tab. Open the menu at the end of the person’s row. It has three actions.
Change the person’s details
- Click Edit in the row menu.
- Change the name, DIN, PAN, address or other details.
- Click Save Person Details.
Be carefulThese details are shared. If the person is also a director at another company, the change shows there as well.
Change this appointment only
- Click Appointment Details in the row menu.
- Change the Designation, tick or untick Authorized signatory, or set Ceased on.
- Click Save Changes.
End the appointment
- Click Cease in the row menu.
- Click Cease Appointment to confirm. The date is today.
What you will seeThe director is hidden from the list. Click Show ceased to see them again.
Good to knowTo cease on a different date, use Appointment Details and set Ceased on. A director is never deleted, so the history stays.
Cannot see this on your screen?
- Your role must be one of these: Admin, Partner, Company Secretary. If it is not, ask your Admin to check your access.
- If your firm’s trial has ended, DueFiler is read-only. You can see everything, but you cannot add or change anything.
