We're trying to configure moderator per list and so far we were only able to add "superuser" accounts that can handle "Held messages", "Members", "Banned addresses" etc.
Is there a way to create special account per-list to manage some of the aspects of particular ML without giving them all the permissions that Superuser comes along with?
In MM2 there was a ML password that moderator/list admin would use to login to perform operations.
Current setup allows list admins to add/delete existing lists which is not desired.

There are moderators and list owners in Mailman 3 too. Superusers can add them under 'Members' tab in settings. '/lists/<list_id>/members/moderator/' the the relative URL to add moderators.

thanks. I do realize that this is a better security than MM2 approach, but we're trying to make MM3 a drop-in for existing MM2 and old behavior was that there was a single password for the moderator of ML which was not associated with user accounts really. That was the kind of thing we were thinking of. I'm guessing this is not a possibility in MM3 (and perhaps for the best)...

You can add ordinary users as Moderator or Owner of a list. I'm not sure what is and isn't currently working, but Moderators and Owners get notices of things like held messages and subscriptions and can approve or deny them. I think only Owners, not Moderators, should be able to change various list settings.
Have you tried these things? Is it not working?

An Owner of one list should not be able to do things to other lists. If you're looking for more granularity in permissions on a single list, Owners can do anything, and Moderators should only be able to deal with held requests, but there's no granularity beyond that.

This was a site option in MM 2.1. I'm not sure about MM 3
