# Distribution Lists

**Description**

The User Management module includes functionality that allows you to create a text string of email addresses for use in non-LogicNets email applications. Examples of when this might be useful are:

* Sending an email to all registered users to notify them of an upcoming Support & Maintenance window when the system will be unavailable
* Sending a marketing email to a specific group of users to highlight some new functionality available in their application
* Sending an email to all users who have not logged in during the past period of time (month, week) reminding them of the application and access URL

Those Admin Users with access to the User Management function can create multiple lists, selecting users from the user base and using the sort and filter functions available for each column to help select the appropriate names from the list.

Once you have saved a list you can click on the list and have access to the *send list* button. Clicking this button sends an email to the admin user's account. The email contains a comma separated text string of email addresses that you can copy/paste into email applications like Outlook or Gmail. In addition, the email contains the first and last name, account status, and last login timestamp information.

**Example** The following is an example of the email. ![](https://2802811211-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdFhfexCjZ5JMhwGzzywq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4949be0827a6162b10ce353fb7371b60cc7cd5a9%2Fc618d753-1562-404b-9243-dce09ff12c6d.png?alt=media)

**Tips and Tricks** Due to security concerns, distribution lists created in the User Management application are not currently available to query/use in other applications built in the LogicNets application. We recommend Designer users investigate the **send\_email** part described in the send\_email article for more information on how to send emails from LogicNets applications.

Hosted installations can connect with client SMTP servers but there are limits to the number of email addresses that can be sent at one time (limit per AWS is 50). Any LogicNets application using send email should loop through individual email addresses to create mutliple single addressee emails.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/design-considerations-and-frameworks/user-management/managing-users/distribution-lists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
