XADM: Owner of a Distribution List (135064)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q135064 SUMMARY
When a distribution list is created, the administrator can assign an owner.
The owner can be any Microsoft Exchange user or custom recipient. The Owner
field is currently used only for informational purposes.
MORE INFORMATION
Being the owner of a distribution list does not automatically imply the
ability to manage the membership of the distribution list. To allow a user
to manage the membership of a distribution list, the Administrator must
grant user permission on the distribution list object to that user's
Windows NT account. Hence, even though the owner can be a Microsoft
Exchange user or a custom recipient, only Microsoft Exchange users can
modify a distribution list.
Although the owner field is currently strictly informational, it could be
used for various purposes. For example, a custom Exchange form could be
developed to automate the modification of distribution lists. The Exchange
form could automatically send the modification request to the owner of the
distribution list, who could then take action on it.
