I could easily see where each phone gets the Exchange sync for contacts only, with email being separate. My iPhone gets her contacts and calendar and my full gmail account and full work account. Her iphone gets her full account plus my gmail calendar and work calendars only. My wife's gmail has all our private contacts. Then you have a supervisor type that has access to update the contacts and every single phone will get the updated contacts. To prevent changes to the contacts by the techs, you can fiddle with permissions or even use the AD account of an account that's granted permissions to the "sync account". Then you'd have ONE "shared" account that has all the business contacts. To a private folder, or to a public folder (which most phones won't show), but AFAIK there is no way to add a contact to AD via Outlook.Īssuming this is 30 phones either iOS or Android, AND the backing server is Exchange, can't you simply set up a sync ONLY for the contacts? I think contacts can be added through Outlook.
