How do I request a Distribution List?

A distribution list in M365 is used for sending email notifications to a group of people. Once the list is created, the list owners are responsible for managing the list.

To request a new distribution list:

1. Visit the MyServiceDesk Portal and select Service Request> M365> Distribution List.
2. Provide the purpose of the list, explaining how it will be used to communicate.
3. Provide a name for the list, using the following guidelines:
   • Indicate the purpose of the list.
   • Be specific enough to be identifiable and separate from other lists.
   • Contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and spaces.
   • Contain less than 80 characters.
   • Not attempt to masquerade as another entity at UW.
   • Not contain profanity.
   • Not contain any special characters, other than hyphens.
4. Provide the names of two owners for the group. Owners are required to: 

• • Add or remove members/guests.
  • Archive or delete the list when the list is no longer needed.
  • Preserve the name and description of the list as created by the M365 Administrator (no changes are permitted).

5. Read and agree to the Terms of Use.
