What’s changing
We’re making some changes to the Directory Settings section of the Admin console. You can use Directory settings to control which parts of the company user directory end users can change for themselves, and what directory information is visible to which users.
Now you’ll see a new card-based interface with three sections when you go to
Admin console > Directory > Directory settings:
- Sharing settings: Set defaults for what contact information is shown to users within your domain and with external apps and APIs.
- Profile editing: Select what personal info (name, photo, etc.) and work info (job title, working location etc) users can change.
- Visibility settings: Choose what directory information is visible to different users.
When you click on to the sharing settings and visibility settings sections, you may also notice similar user interface updates that you see on the directory settings landing page - a card-based interface with more visible information about the settings.
See more details and images below.
Who’s impacted
Admins only
Why you’d use it
The new design has an updated card-based interface, which will make it easier to see where to go to change specific settings, and quicker to confirm that the settings are configured correctly. We hope this will save you time and reduce your clicks.
