Frequently Asked Question
This guide is written for list admins on lists.gewis.nl and answers the question how you can either add or remove people from a mail list.
This is useful for mail lists that are not open to subscription and thus require the owner to add members. Moderators can not add members to a list, only owners can.
counterintuitively, the easiest way to add members without inviting or user intervention is via the mass operations tab.
To add members
- Go to the relevant mail list
- Go to the 'Mass operations' tab
- Enter the e-mail(s)
- Click 'Subscribe users
You will most likely want to use the 'Pre confirm', 'Pre approved' and 'Pre verified' button since this makes for a 'quiet' subscription, where the new member is only notified of the subscription.
To remove members
WARNING: Next to every 'Unsubscribe' button is a 'Unsubscribe All', do be careful
- Go to the users tab
- Select the users you wish to remove
- Click 'Unsubscribe Selected'.
If these steps are unclear, or the UI is, refer to the following images.
