Searching across lists and making global changes
Have multiple mailing lists under one domain
Is there any way to search across all lists for a certain member and make a global change to their email or name?
As an administrator, if a user changes their email, I often have to search each list for the member to locate them (1) and then change their info (2)
Thank you.

find_member if you've got shell access
and make a global change to their email or name?
I tend to see how many entries there are, if it's one or two, i'll do it manually; clone_member is a dandy tool for where there are quite a few.
Both of those just work on the email address; for the name, make the person handle that via /options, and instruct them to set the 'set globally' option.

Hi,
Sorry again for the top-post, not using my regular Email client. This is a temporary condition.
First, your members can do this for themselves, and I for one encourage them to do this. They can simply change these in their options page for one of the lists and then choose to change it globally.
Unfortunately, there appears to be some restriction that prevents a list admin from doing this. I vaguely recall that there is a work-around for this, but can't recall it right now. I'm sure someone will mention it if there is.
Geoff.
