+<h2><a name="SECTION002120000000000000000">
+1.2 Administrative Roles</a>
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are two primary administrative roles for each mailing list, a
+list owner and a list moderator. A list owner is allowed to change
+various settings of the list, such as the privacy and archiving
+policies, the content filtering settings, etc. The list owner is also
+allowed to subscribe or invite members, unsubscribe members, and
+change any member's subscription options.
+
+<p>
+The list moderator on the other hand, is only allowed to approve or
+reject postings and subscription requests. The list moderator can
+also do things like clear a member's moderation flag, or add an
+address to a list of approved non-member posters.
+
+<p>
+Normally, the list owner and list moderator are the same person. In
+fact, the list owner can always do all the tasks a list moderator can
+do. Access to both the owner's configuration pages, and the
+moderation pages are protected by the same password. However, if the
+list owner wants to delegate posting and subscription approval
+authority to other people, a separate list moderator password can be
+set, giving moderators access to the approval pages, but not the
+configuration pages. In this setup, list owners can still moderate
+the list, of course.
+
+<p>
+In the sections that follow, we'll often use the terms list owner and
+list administrator interchangably, meaning both roles. When
+necessary, we'll distinguish the list moderator explicitly.
