Distribution lists much be managed by an administrator in ConsoleOne. However, GroupWise client users can create shared address books and then create groups within those shared address books so that the groups are available to all users with whom the address book is been shared. The creator of the shared address book can give other users read only rights, or can choose to grant them additional rights for adding, editing, and deleting information. For more information about shared address books, see "Sharing an Address Book with Another User" in "Using the Address Book" in the GroupWise 6.5 Windows Client User Guide.
