Removing a Person From or Adding a Person to a Distribution List 

You have two options for removing someone from or adding a person to a Distribution List. The first is to go directly to the Distribution List table and the other is to edit the Distribution List from an Alert. This second option can be helpful if you aren't sure which Distribution List you need to remove the person from. Rather than look through each Distribution List you can go to the Alert in question and you will see the list that is being used and can edit it from there.

1.  Go to System > Settings > Alert Distribution Lists. Edit the Distribution List the person is being removed from or added to.
