Updates to the Directory settings section of the Admin console
Wednesday, October 23, 2019
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.
- Admins: See the changes at Admin console > Directory > Directory settings. Use our Help Center to learn more about how to manage the Directory for your organization.
- End users: No action needed.
