Accessing Distribution Lists You Own
In order to mange your distribution list, in Outlook (https://outlook.office.com) click on the Gear icon in the upper right hand corner.
In Settings, Navigate to General > Distribution Groups > this Portal.
In the opened Groups page, click on Groups I Own, and then click on the name of the Distribution list you would like to administer.
Adding Subscribers
To add subscribers, click on the Members tab, and then click View all and manage members.
Click Add members.
Search for the users you would like to add, select them, and click Add. You can search and select multiple users. You do not need to add one user at a time.
Various Settings
From the Settings Tab, you will be able to view and modify the following settings
- Membership Approval - This is where you define how members can subscribe (Open, Closed, or Approval Required).
(Closed means you as the admin are the only one who can manually add users)
- Delivery Management - This is where you can define who can send to the list.
Note: By default, we add the group itself to this setting in order to lock down the ability to send to the group to only members of the group itself. Otherwise, other users in our organization, even though they aren't subscribers, would still be able to send to the group. Unless you are using this group to solicit input from non-subscribers, we advise to NOT remove your own group from this setting.
- Message Approval - This is where you can setup moderation.
