Note that the navigation menu may look different depending on your permissions. If you are in a narrow window and have selected the menu icon () in the upper right of the window, it will turn into an X and allow you to toggle the menu on/off.

Select an E-List to Manage

Once logged in, the E-list Account dropdown in the upper right corner of the window shows you which accounts you have administrative access to. If you're having difficulty finding this item, refer to the troubleshooting notes for the Simplelists interface.

The current account is the one which displays next to your login, and which is highlighted in gray when you click the dropdown arrow.

You can switch between accounts by selecting the one you want to work with from the dropdown.

Each account has one or more e-lists within it. To select an e-list within an account:

1. Select manage lists from the menu on the left side of the screen.

Troubleshooting

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.
