Log in as an Admin with a Cornell Email

1. Navigate to simple.lists.cornell.edu (Cornell University Simplelists-based e-List service).
2. Select login in the upper right corner of the window. If login isn’t visible, select the hamburger icon (a stack of three horizontal lines) then click login. Consult the section on Simplelists Interface troubleshooting for more details.
3. Enter your netid@cornell.edu email address and select Submit. The site will authenticate you with CUWeb Login and Beyond Identity Secure Connect.

After successful authentication, you will be redirected to your Dashboard. A prompt to enter your First Name and Surname will appear as long as both of them are empty. Providing them is optional. You can always change them in your Personal Settings for your admin account, available via the dropdown in the upper right. 

Log in as an Admin with a Non-Cornell Email

1. Navigate to simple.lists.cornell.edu (Cornell University Simplelists-based e-List service).
2. Select login in the upper right corner of the window. If login isn’t visible, select the hamburger icon (a stack of three horizontal lines) then click login. Consult the section on Simplelists Interface troubleshooting for more details.
3. Enter the email address you use for this admin login and select Submit.
4. Enter the password you previously set up for this admin login and select Submit.
   1. If you have not yet setup up a password, or you have forgotten the password, select Send password reset email and then follow the instructions in the email you receive from Cornell University e-List Support <support@lists.cornell.edu>
5. Enter the MFA code/token generated by your Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) application and select Submit.
   1. You might not be prompted to enter the MFA code/token if you have done it recently.
   2. If you have not yet set up an Authentication application for this admin log in, you will be prompted to do so. After that, you'll be prompted to enter the MFA code/token.

After successful authentication, you will be redirected to your Dashboard. A prompt to enter your First Name and Surname will appear as long as both of them are empty. Providing them is optional. You can always change them in your Personal Settings for your admin account, available via the dropdown in the upper right. 

Troubleshooting

Simplelists Interface

Navigation options will move and change depending on the size of the browser window on your device. Here is how the menu options change depending on the window’s size. 

Errors and Notices

• "ERROR: Sorry, we were unable to locate your email address. Please enter an email address that is registered." 

This error occurs when you try to log in with an email address which is not an admin and not a member of any lists. The current list owner will need to add you as an admin.

• "NOTICE: The email address you entered is not a registered account or list administrator. The email address is, however, a list member, so it has been sent an email with an access code. Please click on the link contained in the email in order to manage your subscription."

This notice occurs when you try to log in with an email address which is not an e-list admin, but is a member of a list. If you think it should be an admin, please have the owner of the e-list in question make you an admin (if it is to be a cornell.edu address then it must be your netid@cornell.edu address, not your coea@cornell.edu).

• “ERROR: Username [email] not found in this system.” 

This error occurs when you try to log in with a cornell.edu address other than your netid@cornell.edu and that address is an admin of at least one e-list, but your netid@cornell.edu is not an admin of any e-list.

The only cornell.edu address you can log in as, if it is an admin, is your netid@cornell.edu because the only way you can complete CUWeb Login is with your netid. Non-netid cornell.edu emails such as COEAs and EGAs cannot be admins. 

Refer to Roles for discussion of how to use COEAs and EGAs.
