Question

I have a quick question (hopefully). I love this webpart and I want to utilize it for my organization. I work for a State Higher Education University and I'm running into a small problem before I can deploy this. We have a group of users who apply for confidential status in our organization. This status is for those who may be in a violent situation and don't want their information to be displayed in directories or other accessible locations. In essence if someone asks us for their information they don't exist to us.

To accomplish this we hide these users from the Global Address Book but I've noticed that when I test this webpart in my dev environment that it shows users and accounts that are hidden from the Global Address Book. Is there a way that I can modify the search function to only look at accounts that are not hidden?

Hi @johnsoep

This WebPart uses SharePoint Search in the File spservice.ts the method searchUsersNewis in use.

You have to find a Property to filter the users on your requirements, as far as I know, the property "hide from Global Address Book" does not exist in the search.

Thanks for the response Peter! I'll take that back to my team and will see what we can do!
