Distribution lists created in 365

[andy471100]

Hi,

I have created in dissolution group in 365 and added external email addresses to it. This would be like a bulk email list then the group name added in the BCC feild in outlook. But is there a way I can edit the emails and remove from this grounp directly in outlook.. this would easier for end user who hasn’t got access to 365 admin.

Thank you for you help

if you want to add members to the distribution list from outlook , you can do that if your an owner on this distribution list 

[#3]

@eliekarkafy , what do you mean here ?

is there another way of doing this with using 365 admin, so a user in outlook can manage the list ?

thank you 

[#4]

@andy471100 yes you can do that from outlook, follow those steps: 

1. open the address book.
2. navigate to the distribution list. 
3. right on it and choose properties. 
4. click on modify members and add the members to it 

make sure that the user that needs to modify distributions list needs to have the right access permissions or to be the owner of the DL

Yes, but where would they type in the email address to add into the current DL ? Then the list would be updated with the new email address included? Would they add a new contact manually in the address book, then modify the DL list , and find the contact ?
