WiscList - Delegated Administration
WiscList Admin allows you to delegate administrative control to a list or set of lists among many people (i.e. departmental administration). This document details the two options with which you can share administrative control.
Option 1: Role-Based or Service Account Delegation
Recommended for: Large groups, sets of lists that change frequently, or groups that would prefer to allow staff to control the creation of lists and delegation of administrative rights.
- Establish a role-based or service email account (WiscMail Plus or other local email service, not a list). Complete the Request WiscMail+ Form to get started.
- Add the role-based or service email account as an administrator of the list
(see: WiscList - Adding a List Member or Administrator).
Note: The "No Mail" setting is recommended for Step #5 when adding administrators to your list(s) if you do not want the account to receive potentially sensitive information via mailings.
- Each individual who you want to be an administrator will need to personally add the role-based or service email account as a verified address (see: WiscList - Managing Verified Addresses).
Option 2: Add Administrators Using Their Individual Accounts
Recommended for: Small groups, sets of lists that do not change frequently, or groups that would prefer to centrally manage the creation of lists and delegation of administrative rights.
- For this method you need to manually add administrators to your list by following the instructions outlined in WiscList - Adding a List Member or Administrator.
Note: The "No Mail" setting is recommended for Step #5 when adding administrators to your list(s) if you do not want the account to receive potentially sensitive information via mailings.
