[MM3-users]Is it possible to grant all users the ability to Create List
Hello,
Our company is evaluating mailman3 as an option for company internal list serving. One of the requirements is that anyone with access to the list server be allowed to create and manage lists. Is this possible? If so, how? Is there a "create list" role that can be added for all registered users?
Thanks

I went ahead and created the following feature request. Please add any information that you think is relevant. https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/133
Thank you Simon for the reply and for opening the feature request.
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone have implemented this feature or used any workaround to be able to grant users with the ability to create list. This has been a feature in mailman2 where you as a user were able to create list with a password and you did not need to be a superuser in order to do that. I do understand that in the development documentation it states the following: Three of Django’s default User roles are relevant for Postorius:
Superuser: Can do everything.
AnonymousUser: Can view list index and info pages.
Authenticated users: Can view list index and info pages. Can (un)subscribe from lists.Can we maybe add a different user role where the user would be able to create lists? If this is possible would anyone let me know how?

The user's role is a Django thing. A user can be given either staff
or superuser status or both or neither. As far as Django is concerned,
staff status only allows the user to visit the Django administration
interface.
Currently, Postorius has decorators @list_owner_required, @list_moderator_required and @superuser_required defined in postorius/auth/decorators.py. There is also a @login_required decorator in django.contrib.auth.decorators. Postorius decorates the list_new() function in postorius/views/list.py with @login_required and @superuser_required.
It would be simple enough to create a new @staff_required decorator
which would require staff or superuser status and replace the
@superuser_required decorator on the list_new() function with
@staff_required. Then any user with staff status could create lists.

This simple scheme would allow them to create lists on any domain, right? Probably would not want to enable it on multi-domain sites.
