74.1 eDirectory Information Displayed in the
Address Book
The Address Book displays information stored in Novell
distribution lists in your GroupWise system. By default, the following information is displayed:
Name
Office phone number
Department
Fax number
User ID
You can configure the Address Book to display more or less information to meet the needs of your
users. See Section 6.1, "Customizing Address Book Fields," on page
By default, all users, resources, and distribution lists that you create in eDirectory are displayed in
the Address Book and are available to all GroupWise users.
74.2 Suppressing the Contents of the User
Description Field
By default, when you display details about a user in the Address Book, the information in the
Description field of the User object in eDirectory is displayed. If you keep confidential information
in the Description field of the User object, you can prevent this information from appearing the
GroupWise Address Book. See
Displaying in the Address Book," on page
74.3 Controlling GroupWise Object Visibility in
the Address Book
You might need to create users, resources, or distribution lists that are not available to all GroupWise
users. You can accomplish this by restricting the set of users that can see such objects in the Address
Book. You can make such objects visible only to the members of a domain, only to the members of
