The Distribution List Membership Page

A shared distribution list will also have a link titled Edit user permissions

Note You cannot change the name of an automatically created distribution list, nor can you modify the recipients.

Note If you are not the system administrator, Broadcast Server will allow you to view details of a distribution list including recipients and user permissions (if any) even if you are not the owner of the list. You will not however be able to change information of a list you do not own.

You can then go further by placing the East Coast
