Types of Owner

(Please note:  Only active faculty and staff members are eligible to be owners.)

Owner - Owners have full access to add/remove members to a group, as well as request that additional Owners be added/removed.

Displayed Owner - The Displayed Owner has the same rights as an Owner, but they will appear as the manager of that particular mailbox or calendar in the Global Address List. The Displayed Owner will automatically be chosen to be notified regarding any maintenance actions that Information Technology Services may need to perform on that group such as membership audits, etc.

While there can be many Owners, there can only be one Displayed Owner.
