Log in as an Admin with a Cornell Email

Only netid@cornell.edu addresses will work. Non-NetID addresses including coea@cornell.edu and ega@cornell.edu will not work for an admin login.
  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 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. 

If you initiated the log in with a cornell.edu address other than your netid@cornell.edu, and it appeared to be successful, then you are actually logged in with your netid@cornell.edu. You can verify this in your Personal Settings.

Log in as an Admin with a Non-Cornell Email

Any non-Cornell.edu address may be an admin, but you will require a password and must authenticate with an app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
  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 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.
Authentication Apps that support Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP): Some devices (iPhone, iPad, and macOS) have TOTP support built-in, so you don't need an additional app. If you need to download an app, any authentication application that creates a TOTP will work. For example, Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Follow the instructions in the documentation for the app or device you are using. 

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.
