Broadcast Server User Guide
Automatically created distribution lists
If you have configured the Application Gateway to obtain department 
information from a directory source (LDAP or CSV), Broadcast Server will 
automatically create and update distribution lists based on the 
department corresponding to each IP telephone extension. The 
distribution list is updated each time that the Application Gateway detects 
a new or changed IP telephone.
If you move users and devices between different “departments”, the 
changes are automatically reflected in Broadcast Server. If a device 
becomes obsolete, you can manually remove it from Broadcast Server.
Note
Automatically created distribution lists cannot be renamed or have their 
recipients changed. Broadcast Server updates this information.
By default, an automatically created distribution list is privately owned by 
the administrator. 
List ownership
The Owner column (available to the system administrator only) contains 
the name of the user who currently owns the distribution list. The 
administrator can change ownership of distribution lists, assigning them 
to another user for their private use, or sharing them among other 
Broadcast Server users.
