Automatically created distribution lists
If you have configured the Application Gateway to obtain department
information from a directory source (LDAP or CSV), Broadcast Server will
automatically create and update distribution lists based on the
department corresponding to each IP telephone extension. The
distribution list is updated each time that the Application Gateway detects
a new or changed IP telephone.
If you move users and devices between different “departments”, the
changes are automatically reflected in Broadcast Server. If a device
becomes obsolete, you can manually remove it from Broadcast Server.
Note Automatically created distribution lists cannot be renamed or have their
recipients changed. Broadcast Server updates this information.
By default, an automatically created distribution list is privately owned by
the administrator.
List ownership
The Owner column (available to the system administrator only) contains
the name of the user who currently owns the distribution list. The
administrator can change ownership of distribution lists, assigning them
to another user for their private use, or sharing them among other
Broadcast Server users.

Application Gateway synchronization with your LDAP
server or CSV directory file.
