Good afternoon, my doubt is how I could hide a user of my organization, I do not want to delete it or anything, just hide from the address finder. I have already created users without any type of licensing but I can still find them in others in people.

    Hi @Jose IT Junior

    Here is a link about this topic for your reference: Limit who users can see when searching the directory in Teams

    You may consider either using Address Book Policy (Exchange Online) or Information Barriers (require license) to achieve this.
    Also note that: If using either option, you must turn on search by name in the Teams admin center, which may take a few hours to take effect.

    How to turn on search by name:

    1. In the Microsoft Teams admin center, select Teams > Teams settings.
    2. Under Search by name, next to Scope directory search using an Exchange address book policy, turn the toggle On.

    You can hide any user or group from the Exchange address book by using the Hide from address list option. This option can be enabled in the user’s properties through the Exchange Admin Center (EAC).
