Listserv Lists
(now created through Google groups)
TO CHANGE AN OWNER ON A LIST
If your group has a list and needs to change the owner (i.e. new officers), use the directions below. Only a current owner will be able to change the owner list. Please remember to do this at the end of the school year to give the incoming officers access. Your advisor, if listed as an owner, should also be able to do this at any time.
- Go to listserv.nd.edu.
- Log in with your Net ID and password (you may need to log in with your group's Net ID and password if you have never been set up as an owner).
- On the pull down menu at the top left, choose "List Management," "List Configuration," "Manual List Configuration." You should see a list header with several Owner= statements. Those statements should read as follows:
- Owner= grouppresident@nd.edu
Owner= groupnetID@nd.edu
Owner= address1@nd.edu
Owner= quiet:
Owner= advisor@nd.edu
Owner= (HD-STAFF) ***DO NOT REMOVE***
Editor= grouppresident@nd.edu
Editor= groupadvisor@nd.edu - Change the names of those that you want to be owners (i.e., grouppresident@nd.edu to suzyque@nd.edu). Your advisor should also be listed as a quiet owner. As quiet owner, your advisor will not receive an email to review messages, but can access the account and change the owners if someone loses the password.
- Click "Submit"

- Input the email address you wish to update the password for, and the new password.
