A recipient list lets you specify a filter to fetch a list of users. Use the
recipient list as the contact for a particular communication plan.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_comm_management.comm_plan_admin or admin

Sometimes, the contacts that you want to include in a plan can only be known
dynamically. For example, you might want the support group associated with a
particular business service in an incident to be involved in the communication plan.
The support group might change depending on the business service that you select. In
such a case, a recipient list provides the flexibility to add recipients
dynamically.
