 ====== Destinations & Destination Lists ======
 {{indexmenu_n>740}}
+The purpose of these two resources is to allow efficient management of message templates and where they are sent. Once created, a Destination List can be selected for an unlimited number of "Send message" alarm actions. If changes are required, such as on-boarding a new employee, simply edit the Destination List and the effect is account wide.
+Although visible from the groups under an account, Destinations and Destination List tabs are an account resource. If the users of a group need to create and manage their own Destinations and Destination Lists, their group must be upgraded to an account.
+<WRAP center round info 60%>
+To access Destinations and Destination List a user must be invited to an account and have the privilege "Can add/change destinations".

 === Destinations ===
-Destinations are the endpoints for messages sent via "Alarm Actions". These endpoints are typically various methods of connecting with human recipients, but API calls to other software programs is also an option. The "Destination" tab for each "Group" is like a address book, but since each destination is a single endpoint an individual human recipient may have multiple entries to list; email, cell phone, and text.

 === Message Templates ===
-The Message Template allows a user with adequate privileges, to customize the message assigned to each List Step (Destination) using plain text and [[ezeio2:userinterface:manage:meggagetemplates|Message Template tags]]. The Default message templates are tailored to the Destination Type, making the default SMS messages shorter than email. You can also choose to give more or different information to some Destinations (recipients). Message Template Tags  allow the message to contain current field values, device status, system info, meta data, even a Google maps link with the units location.
