# Using Gnosis Safe as an Authority

Learn how to sign DSA transactions using a multi-sig Gnosis Safe

Your Instadapp can be managed by different addresses, such as Multi-Sig wallets like Gnosis-Safe. The process for adding an authority or creating an account is the same.

![You can utilize a multi-sig wallet to share access to a DSA and add Multi-Sig functionality](https://285790977-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MQnOXLAFDOGcotXLu9D%2Fuploads%2FoLYUQ2CyfShSvmJNgZhd%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-03-26%20at%207.29.08%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=6e671e0f-dbc3-4391-b396-a1be727cd2e1)

Open another tab and open the Instadapp dashboard, click connect and select Wallet Connect. In this example we are using a desktop so we will copy the code below and enter it on the Gnosis Wallet Connect page.

![You should see this screen when its connected](https://285790977-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MQnOXLAFDOGcotXLu9D%2Fuploads%2F2Li8JLbxVO9K7CT6uJcH%2FScreen%20Shot%202022-03-26%20at%207.49.35%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=487302c0-9f22-4302-9f0e-a84ed75d3142)

{% hint style="success" %}
In order to use Wallet Connect you must keep the Gnosis Dashboard tab open
{% endhint %}

#### Signing using Wallet Connect

Complete a transaction on Instadapp as you would normally, after clicking the final submit remember to go back to the Gnosis Wallet Connect tab to confirm the transaction.

This transaction requires 2 signatures to be executed, you will see the interface show you the transaction pending but it will not confirm. 

If the transaction is signed but not executed in a set amount of time the interface may show an error. You can ignore this and proceed to sign the transaction at any time.

#### Other Gnosis Signer executes the tx from Gnosis Safe dashboard

Using Gnosis Safe to sign transactions may sometimes mess up with our transaction receipt. Transaction receipts are a localized transaction receipt. You can clear your transaction receipt history at any time.
