Using Mailman Owners & Moderators Subscribers Public Lists FAQs Links (Non-UW) |
Each Mailman list has at least one owner but some also have a
list moderator. The moderator is appointed by the owner to be in charge of
list subscriptions and postings. Here is a brief description of both roles:
List ownerEach list must have an owner who is responsible for configuration, maintenance, and operation of the list. The list owner may establish other owners, and may optionally have others take roles such as moderating the discussion or managing subscription requests. List owners can execute commands for their subscribers, including adding and deleting subscribers. List owners receive all requests for moderation from the server that moderators receive, so even with a moderated list, it is not necessary to specify a moderator. Each list must have at least one owner who is a current student, faculty, or staff at the University of Washington. List moderatorList moderators are optional. They are assigned by the owners and can manage list subscriptions and postings.Owners and moderators have different authentication methods for accessing the Mailman Web pages. List owners use their UW NetID and password to access the administration pages at https://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listname(where listname is replaced with the actual name of your list) as well as the moderator page at https://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admindb/listnameThe list moderator, however, only has access to the moderator page with his or her moderator password (assigned by the list owner). For information about how to specify a list moderator, assign a moderator password, and configure your list as a moderated list, see the Managing private and moderated lists section of the Maintaining a Mailman List page. |
