New Enhancements for Managing Departmental Email Accounts and Distribution Lists
Are you an administrator of a departmental email account or distribution list? If so, please be aware that the Departmental Account Management application in TUportal will be unavailable on Monday, October 6 due to a planned system upgrade.
When the system is back online on Tuesday, October 7, you will notice a new web interface for creating or updating these accounts. See below for more details:
Departmental Email Accounts
A departmental email account is a shared mailbox and/or calendar which can be used by your team, unit or department. Each team member accesses the shared account using their individual AccessNet username and password.
Upcoming Enhancements:
- More intuitive account creation and update process
- Ability to perform the following actions for an existing account without having to submit a separate request:
- Grant or revoke user access to the account
- Add a display name or update an existing display name
- Set an existing alias as the sender address
Distribution Lists
A distribution list is an @temple.edu email address that forwards mail to a specific group of people within Temple. Unlike a departmental account, which is shared, recipients access the messages using their own email accounts.
Upcoming Enhancements:
- More intuitive creation and update process
- Ability to copy and paste a list of recipients instead of having to enter them one at a time
How to Create or Manage
- Log in to TUportal.
- Click the red TUapplications tab.
- Under All TUapplications, click Departmental Account Management.
