These same global contacts are available from the Gmail interface on the web.\r\nBy default, global addresses are shared with everyone in your organization. They include each user's primary\r\nemail address and any email aliases or nicknames. Their name format (for example, Last name, First name or First\r\nname, Last name) follows your Gmail name format settings.\r\nIf you modify the GAL in Google Workspace, each user's list is updated in Outlook, too. It can take up to 24 hours\r\nfor updates to become available in Outlook or for users to view the GAL after they install GWSMO.\r\nWhat's available \u0026 unavailable to Outlook users?\r\nGWSMO users in Outlook can:\r\nView the GAL for all your organization's Google Workspace users, groups, shared contacts, and resources.\r\nFor details, go to supported fields below.\r\nSearch for contacts by user, group, and resource address in the Outlook Address Book. Entering the first\r\nfew characters of an address in the Address Book autocompletes the top names that match an entry.\r\nFind free/busy information for other users and resources, such as conference rooms. You can also include\r\nfree/busy information for people in your organization who are still using Microsoft Exchange. For details,\r\ngo to Set up free/busy information for Exchange users.\r\nGWSMO users in Outlook cannot view Exchange data that hasn't been replicated in Google Workspace.\r\nManage the GAL\r\nAs a Directory administrator, you can manage the GAL to control user information visibility in Google Contacts\r\nand other Google services. If users in your domain cannot access any global addresses in either Outlook or Gmail,\r\nverify contact sharing is turned on in the Google Admin console.\r\nTo modify contact sharing settings, you need to be a Super Admin or Services Admin, or have Directory settings\r\nservices privileges in a custom role. For details, go to Make a user an admin or Create, edit, and delete custom\r\nadmin roles.\r\nTurn on the Directory\r\nhttps://support.google.com/a/answer/166870?hl=en\r\nPage 1 of 3\n\nTo ensure the GAL is available to GWSMO users, you need to turn on your organization's Directory and set the\r\ncontact sharing settings in your Google Admin console. For details, go to Turn on the Directory and set sharing\r\noptions.\r\nTurn off the Directory\r\nIf you don't want users to have access to the GAL, you can turn off the feature for the whole organization or just\r\nan individual user:\r\nTo turn off contact sharing for your organization, and hide all global addresses from your users, go to Turn\r\noff the Directory.\r\nTo turn off contact sharing for a specific user, add a registry key to the user's computer. Go to Turn off the\r\nGlobal Address List for a user.\r\nNote: You might also need to turn off the Directory when you first set up the Directory or to troubleshoot.\r\nAdditional Directory settings\r\nHere's a few other Directory settings you might want to explore:\r\nDetermine how people in your organization view email addresses: Set which email addresses show in the\r\nDirectory\r\nSet which users are visible to other users in your organization: Control who users can find in the Directory\r\nHide profiles from your organization's Directory: Hide a user from the Directory\r\nGlobal address fields\r\nSupported fields\r\nBy default, global addresses include the First Name, Last Name, and Email Address fields defined when each user\r\nis added to your Google Workspace account. GWSMO supports the following fields during a sync:\r\nGeneral-Name-First\r\nGeneral-Name-Initials\r\nGeneral-Name-Last\r\nGeneral-Name-Display\r\nGeneral-Name-Email\r\nGeneral-Address\r\nGeneral-City\r\nGeneral-State\r\nGeneral-Zip code\r\nGeneral-Country/Region\r\nGeneral-Title\r\nGeneral-Company\r\nGeneral-Department\r\nhttps://support.google.com/a/answer/166870?hl=en\r\nPage 2 of 3\n\nGeneral-Office\r\nGeneral-Assistant\r\nGeneral-Phone\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Business\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Business2\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Fax\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Assistant\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Home\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Home2\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Mobile\r\nPhone/Notes-Phone Numbers-Pager\r\nPhone/Notes-Notes\r\nGoogle, Google Workspace, and related marks and logos are trademarks of Google LLC.
