It is possible to allow other people to manage your Simplelists account as a separate account or list administrator. This useful feature enables you to delegate management of your email lists, share the workload and save time. You can set permissions for each new administrator and you don’t have to give everyone full control over your account. For example, an administrator can be allowed to approve messages and manage list members, but prevented from changing account settings. The ability to add delegated administrators means you’ll never need to share login details, which helps keep your account secure. New administrators can be added at any time, enabling easy expansion of your email management system as your organisation or business grows. If you’re making use of the Simplelists API, you can also add API users to your account.
Adding a delegated administrator
To add a new administrator, simply log in to your Simplelists account area and click on “Manage admins” in the main menu. On the Manage admins screen, select ‘Add new administrator’ and add a name and email address. It is important to use the correct email address as confirmation will automatically be sent to this address. You can edit the administrator permissions at this stage, by checking the relevant boxes. You can choose from one or more of:
Then, click the ‘Create’ button to complete the process. You will see the new administrator on the “manage admins” page.
Adding an API user
To add an API, return to the ‘Manage admins’ page. This time, select ‘Type of administrator’ and select API user and the version of the API that you are using (we recommend version 2 for new integrations). Click the ‘Create’ button. The API user will then appear in the list of administrators on the ‘Manage admins’ screen.
That’s all there is to adding new administrators to your account. Simple!
