Address lists are by default visible to everyone within the company. If you want to limit visibility, you will have to also configure Address Book Policies, and assign them accordingly. Here are the relevant docs:

Alternatively, you can store the contacts within a user/shared mailbox and share the list from there.

VasilMichev ...Hello everything is fine?

See... In my case, one tenant, several domains - consequently several users and a great need to improve the visualization of the GAL.

Users of a domain preferably want to see - see - consult users of their own domain BUT ... but can consult all Tenant users.

Reading what you wrote, it seems like it meets my desired scenario.
- Create a GAL-DOM01
- Create a GAL-DOM02

- Create a policy POL-GAL-DOM01 for use of GAL-DOM01
- Create a policy POL-GAL-DOM02 for use of GAL-DOM02

Then I assign the policies to the users, POL-GAL-DOM01 to email address removed for privacy reasons , POL-GAL-DOM02 to email address removed for privacy reasons ...

But if I want - need - organize by New Address Lists?!?!?

For example...

In DOM01 I want to separate HR, IT, DEV.

How to ensure that these lists are visible only to GAL-DOM01/ POL-GAL-DOM01 users?

That cannot be seen by users of GAL-DOM02/POL-GAL-DOM02 or even by users who do not have an address catalog policy, users of

Again... Reading what you say, it seems to me that it is possible to achieve this scenario, but when I go to operationalize it, I don't see a way out "Default Global Address List".

If I haven't made myself clear, please ask, I'm at your complete disposal.

Thank you for your attention
