Manage E-list Admins

To add, remove, or change an Admin of an e-list:

  1. Log in as an Admin.
  2. Select the account and  e-list you want to manage.
If you don't have manage lists in the navigation menu or you do not have Settings next to the e-list, then you do not have permission to add/remove/change Admins for that e-list. If you feel you should have this permission, contact the e-list owner who can enable it for you. If you are the owner, open a support ticket (link pending).
  1. Select Settings beneath the Action column for the list you want to manage.
List of E-lists in an account.
When there is more than one E-list in the account, there is no way to tell from the web interface which account a particular e-list is in without viewing all the lists in an account. However, many E-lists and their accounts share a naming convention. If the account name is YOUR-LIST-L-account, then the E-list name will be YOUR-LIST-L.

5. Select Admins

Proceed with the steps for the desired action.

Add an Admin

  1. Select the add button
  2. Enter the admin's contact information:
    • First name and Last name are optional.
    • Enter the admin's email address.
      • For Cornell admins, email addresses must be entered in the format: netid@cornell.edu.
        • Although you can add coea@cornell.edu, ega@cornell.edu, and other non-netid@cornell.edu addresses, they will not be able to log in.
      • For non-Cornell admins, any address that does not end in @cornell.edu will work.
  3. Select the permissions you want this admin to have.
    • Best practice is to select all of them unless you have a clear reason not to.
    • You will only be able to grant permissions which you also have. Learn more about administrative account permissions.
  4. Optionally, check to send a welcome email to the new admin.
    • The email will come from support@lists.cornell.edu.
    • The reply-to will be your address. If the new admin replies to the welcome email, their response will come to you.
  5. Select the Update button. The addition is not permanent until you do this.

A notification email is sent to the new admin only if you put a check for the welcome email.

Delete an Admin

  1. Select the address of the admin you want to remove.
  2. Select Delete. The address will disappear, but it is not yet deleted.
  3. Select Update. The deletion is not permanent until you do this.
     

The deleted admin will not receive a notification email.

Edit an Admin

  1. Select the email address of the admin you want to edit.
  2. Make the changes:
    • Name and email can't be changed at this time.
    • The welcome email setting does not work when editing an admin.
    • Only permissions may be changed.
  3. Select Update. The change is not permanent until you do this.

The modified admin will not receive a notification email.

Administrative Account Permissions

Four different permissions levels are available to list admins.
