Hi there!

I'm trying to set up Sympa 6.2.16 to allow only a specific group of
users to requests new lists and not anonymous users or subscribers. I
have "create_list" set to intranet now:

$ sudo grep create_list /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf
create_list intranet

I changed this from "public_listmaster" which allows any one defined in
"listmaster" in sympa.conf to request and create a new list. However,
no one else can request a list now. In my adventures to RTFM, I see
"create_list" is described as using an Authorization Scenario:

https://www.sympa.org/manual_6.2/conf-parameters/part1#create_list

However, after diving into auth scenarios I didn't actually see mention
how A) how to define the permission to request a new list and B) how to
assign users to this scenario:


https://www.sympa.org/manual/authorization-scenarios#authorization_scenarios

How would I go about allowing a collection of users to requests lists
which listmasters get prompted to approve with out giving them any more
permissions? I do not want to add them to "listmaster"

much thanks!
