Managing Distribution List Members as a Distribution List Owner

Page Summary

This how-to page covers how, as a distribution list owner, you can add/remove members and owners. Learn more about how to accomplish these tasks and more on this page.

Details

Which lists can be managed?

Only distribution lists that have been created in Microsoft 365 can be directly managed by the owners. If your distribution list has existed for a number of years then your distribution list may not be eligible. If you find this is the case and need to update memberships or seek to have the group converted so you can manage the distribution list directly, submit a ticket by visiting https://support.indwes.edu/user , sign in and then select "Request an IT Service"  then select the "Email Distribution List Update" button. 

Members vs. Owners

Members - A distribution list member is someone who is eligible to send to the distribution list email address, and also receives emails sent to the distribution list. 

Owners - Owners of a distribution list can adjust the distribution list's settings and add/remove members from the distribution list.
