2.2 The Passwords Category</a>
55
As mentioned above, there are two primary administrative roles for
56
mailing lists. In this category you can specify the password for
60
The list owner has total control over the configuration of their
61
mailing list (within some bounds as specified by the site
62
administrator). Note that on this page, for historical reasons, the
63
list owner role is described here as the <em>list administrator</em>.
64
You can set the list owner's password by entering it in the password
65
field on the left. You must type it twice for confirmation. Note
66
that if you forget this password, the only way for you to get back
67
into your list's administrative pages is to ask the site administrator
68
to reset it for you (there's no password reminders for list owners).
71
If you want to delegate list moderation to someone else, you can enter
72
a different moderator password in the field on the right (typed twice
73
for confirmation). Note that if you aren't going to delegate
74
moderation, and the same people are going to both configure the list
75
and moderate postings to the list, don't enter anything into the
76
moderator password fields. If you do enter a separate moderator
77
password, be sure to fill in the <code>moderator</code> variable in the
78
<em>General options</em> category page.
