Sharing distribution lists

Sharing distribution lists is a way to standardize on a set of distribution lists across the organization and is easy to do in the Broadcast Server. Only the system administrator can perform this function. Users can share only the lists that are owned by the Administrator user.

To share a list, click the notepad icon () to the left of the current owner’s name and select Administrator (Shared) from the popup window. Once this step is complete, a new link titled Edit user permissions appears in the distribution list record. Click this icon to display the Distribution List User Permissions Page where you can select the Broadcast Server users who will be able to send alerts to the distribution list.

To “unshare” a list, simply change the ownership to Administrator (Private) and assign ownership to another Broadcast Server user. All users who were previously able to send to the shared list will no longer have that privilege.

Note Broadcast Server users who have permission to send to a shared list cannot modify details of the list including its name, comments, or recipients. Only the administrator can perform this action.

To share a distribution list owned by a user, the user must have the administrator change the owner from the user’s name to Administrator (Shared).
