18.6 Enabling Users to Modify a Distribution List

In ConsoleOne, you can grant rights to users to modify distribution lists from the GroupWise Windows client. However, users cannot create or delete distribution lists; that can be done only in ConsoleOne by an administrator.

To grant edit rights to a specific distribution list to one or more users:

  1. Browse to and right-click a Distribution List object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Administration.

    Administration property page of a Distribution List object

  3. Click Add, then select one or more users who can edit the distribution list.

  4. Click OK to grant the edit rights.

  5. Notify the users that they have rights to modify the distribution list.

To give a specific user rights to edit one or more distribution lists:

  2. Click GroupWise > Distribution List Administration.

  3. Click Add, then select one or more distribution lists for the user to edit.

  4. Click OK to grant the edit rights.

  5. Notify the user that he or she has rights to modify the distribution lists.

    In the GroupWise client, the editable distribution list does not appear any different to the user who has rights to edit it, except that Add and Remove are active for that user.

In Online mode, the user can edit the distribution list in the GroupWise Address Book. In Caching mode, the user cannot edit the distribution list in the GroupWise Address Book. However, the user can edit the distribution list in the Address Selector in a new message.
