Distribution list administration

[shawnlhood]

Is there a way to assign administration privileges on a granular basis? For example, we have a number of departments who would like to take over the administration of their own distribution lists, but we would not want to grant access to the entire administration panel.

Bug 19579 - distribution list -- moderator
(incorporated into Bug 8968 - Mailman Integration)

The first bug was for the ability to have distribution list moderators (ie add/remove abilities)

That got incorporated into the mailman RFE -which is the bug for the serious distribution list overhaul (mailman being the suggested product to integrate)

The Network Edition has domain admins that can only create and maintain accounts, aliases, distribution lists, and calendar resources in a specific domain.
(If it's still a little too much abilities/powers for your liking, more delegated auth control functionality is slowly being added.)

You could build a web-interface with soap calls, or a shell that would only allow some basic commands-
To get all the lists:
zmprov gadl
or just those in a domain:
zmprov gadl domain.com

zmprov gdlm list@domain.com

to see the members:
zmprov gdl list@domain.com

to add a member:
zmprov adlm list@domain.com user@domain.com

to remove a member:
zmprov rdlm list@domain.com user@domain.com

to create a list:
zmprov cdl newlist@domain.com

to delete a list:
zmprov ddl deletethislist@domain.com

rename list:
zmprov rdl list@domain.com newlistname@domain.com

add list alias:
zmprov adla list@domain.com newalias@domain.com

remove list alias:
zmprov rdla list@domain.com aliastoremove@domain.com[/quote]
