Hello,

I'm gradually migrating the whole school to Exchange online, but I've run into a problem. The school wants the students to not see the teachers in the directory and vice versa. Students are also not allowed to see other students..

Is it possible to somehow limit what appears in the whisperer when writing a new email?

Thank you for your help..

    Hi @Michal Dejmek ,

    The school wants the students to not see the teachers in the directory and vice versa.

    According to your description, the first requirement is that you can create two address book policies to enforce. When an ABP is created and assigned to a user, the  ABP becomes the scope of the address list that the user will be able to view.

    You can refer to the following links to learn about and create:

    Address book policies in Exchange Online | Microsoft Learn

    Create an address book policy in Exchange Online | Microsoft Learn

    Students are also not allowed to see other students..

    You can hide a student's email address from the address book with the following command:

    Set-mailbox -identity user -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true

    Or enable it for each student mailbox in EAC in the following way:

    1.       open EAC , enter  Recipients-Mailboxes

    2.       select the specify the mailbox

    3.       click “Manage hide from GAL ”

    4.       Enable and save it.

    Hello,

    I finally solved the problem using "AddressBookPolicy" which actually solves what was required.

    Thank you very much for your help.
