'contact sharing' is another one of those g-features which have little relationship to what the real world expectation is for the feature as it appears.
around one year ago when the feature came out, we were thinking this would allow all the domain users to see the other's contacts, thus enabling users to "share contacts" within the domain. (ie, 'add to contacts; mark as shared' ) this would have been a new feature, something not really available easily with corporate domain solutions. of course its not really that way, it works just like the legacy application, but not even the other users in the domain are visible (huh?) so, no "contact sharing", no "mailing list" within mail (other than a huge CC field) - whats up? maybe these things got changed or updated, or hacks published, etc, but I haven't taken the time to check on it again after posting about it a year ago. the client that I set up on apps last year on the premise of advanced mail & list managment and contact sharing was pretty much non-plussed and didn't put any more effort into it when the found out that it didn't give them anything more "collaboration" capabilities than their own corporate/university/personal e-mail accounts. ( granted, they came up in the generations "before computers", but they seriously wanted a solution to these problems which seemed obvious to them ) On Apr 29, 4:40 pm, "Alex (Google)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > It's possible the domain administrator enabled contact sharing, which > allows users to see other users within the domain in the contacts > chooser. > > http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=60218 > > But as a rule, the Provisioning API is only available to > administrators.
