How to create a list admin

List administrators are normal mailing list members, but with additional rights.

Follow the steps below to configure a list admin:

Creating a List admin

  1. Go to Members > Add Members > Add Member.
  2. Click on the List Admin tab.

List Admin tab UI

Refer to the table below for more information regarding the options available under Member > Add Members > Add Member > List Admin tab:

Field Name Description
Is list admin?
  • This determines whether this member is a list administrator. If set to Yes, this member is able to access the List Administrator functions of the web interface.
Receive list admin mail
  • This determines whether this member receives email for this list's administrators.
  • Mail sent to owner-listname (example: owner-jazztalk@example.com) is distributed to each of the members who have their Admin Mail set to Yes.
  • Also, if the mailing list is set to be private, the Receive list admin mail setting determines whether this member receives email notifications of requests to join the private mailing list.
Receive moderation notifications
  • This determines whether this member receives email notifications of moderated messages to the mailing list, which need to be approved or rejected.
  • If the list does not require moderation, this setting has no effect.
Bypass List Moderation
  • If this mailing list is set to moderate messages in some way, the bypass setting gives this member the right to contribute messages to the mailing list without being moderated.
  • If a list is set to always require moderation, every message sent to the list needs to be approved by the administrator, even those posted by administrators. This setting allows members to post directly to the list regardless of the list moderation settings.

Note

Bypassing list moderation is insecure, as an administrator could inadvertently send a virus to the list
Page Permission Group
  • Select the URL page permission group for this list administrator from the drop-down menu.
  • This enables administrators to either allow or deny access to specific URLs within Aurea List Manager.
  • To allow this administrator access to all URLs, select Allow all. In order for permission groups to appear here, they must first be created in Utilities > Administration > Administrators > Permission Groups. The default setting is Allow all.

Aurea List Manager includes some default permission groups which are listed here as well.
Enable WYSIWYG Editor
  • By default, the HTML editor is available to administrators in Content and Mailings. Some administrators may prefer to have the HTML editor always disabled, especially if they are always using their own HTML, which may be modified by Aurea List Manager's included HTML editor.

Note

If an administrator is both a list and site or server administrator, the site or server admin setting for Enable WYSIWYG Editor overrides the list administrator setting.
