Managing List Owners/Admins

List owners can add or remove people from the list, just like you.

It's good to have at least one other trusted owner of the list, in case you're out sick or just need to delegate.

Great candidates are:

  • Co-chair(s)
  • Technical committee members
  • Technical members of UTSC ExComm
  • IT or technical staff within your department willing to help out with UTSC stuff

 

Click Edit List Config and then List definition.


Add any co-chairs or technical committee members, one at a time. You'll have to add one person, change their Profile to Privileged, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, click , and repeat.
