# Distribution Lists
A **Distribution List (DL)** in Infinity is a logical collection of users that can be managed collectively. DLs allow administrators to streamline access control, reporting, and notifications for groups of users instead of managing permissions individually.
***
### **Key Benefits of DLs**
1. **Assign Permissions to an Entire Group** – Instead of assigning permissions to individual users, you can assign them to a DL, ensuring consistency and efficiency.
2. **Subscribe Groups to Reports & Alerts** – Subscribe an entire DL to **scheduled reports** and **automated alerts**, ensuring all relevant users receive updates.
3. **Manage Charts & Storyboards for a DL** – Assign specific charts and storyboards to a DL to provide access to relevant insights.

2. Navigate to the **Sharing Settings**.
3. Select the relevant **DL from the list**.
