All registered students and the instructor of record are automatically added to a course list. The instructor (the list administrator) can give a TA or co-instructor access to the list to allow non-Banner registered users to post messages. Also, the list administrator can add a non-Brown.edu email address to allow instructors to send emails from their primary email address (i.e. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.)
In Sympa (the course email list manager) there are two types of users that can post to a list: list owners and list moderators.
