You can control whose information is displayed in the Directory contacts group in Google Contacts at https://contacts.google.com for specific OUs or everyone in the domain.
In the Google Admin console at https://admin.google.com, click the menu icon next to the Google Admin logo in the top left. Hover over Directory and select Directory settings.
Click the Visibility settings section.
You can configure the Directory visibility setting for all users in the domain by selecting the top-level organizational unit on the left under Organizational Unit, or set it up for specific organizational units by selecting them and then updating the setting.
All sub-OUs inherit the settings of their parent OU.
By selecting No users, you hide the Directory contact group. This will prevent users from using the auto-complete feature when typing someone’s email address or names when sharing files, inviting to events, or sending emails.
You can select All users to show all users in the Directory contacts group with no restrictions.
Alternatively, you can only show Users in a custom directory. If you select this option, you need to create a custom category based on a Group in your domain.
After making any updates, click SAVE. Note that changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
Control if the contact info of all users is visible to everyone in the Directory contacts group, and what kind of information is available there.
Specify which users appear in the Directory contacts group.
Allow or disable profile picture uploads, name, gender, and birthday editing.
Choose what kind of contact data users can allow external apps to access.
