Email distribution lists are primarily used with the Messaging feature, which is available from a Company, Contract, or Project Profile. Distribution lists are also available for any of the other program features that use the Address Book, including scheduled reports, events, event alerts for contract expiration dates, scorecards, workflow steps, and Project Teams. However, distribution lists are not available for use with the Document Package or eSignature Package wizards.

A user with the Email Distribution Lists permission can create and manage the lists that appear in the Address Book and are used by several program features. Although this permission is not technically an administrative function, email distribution lists are accessed from the Admin menu.

Granting the Email Distribution Lists permission can be achieved by adding the permission to an existing user role or creating a separate user role for the permission.
