Note: Depending upon the options selected when a group list is set up, lists can be restricted to specific people, people only on the list, only Dartmouth.edu e-mail addresses or everyone from any e-mail address.

Notice, when searching the GAL, Group lists are indicated by a two-headed icon.

To join a list, you make a request to join the list through Blitz Web Access (BWA) or Outlook Web Access (OWA). An owner of a list can set up the list in one of 3 ways to process requests to join.

Open: If a list is "Open", anyone can join this group without being approved by the group owners.

Owner Approval: If a list is set up for "Owner Approval", all requests are approved or rejected by the group owners. An email is sent to the group Owner where they either approve or reject the request to join.

Closed: If a list is "Closed", members can be added only by the group owners. All requests to join will be rejected automatically.
