Directory Search is an on‑premises, browser‑based web phonebook that leverages your existing Active Directory to provide a searchable company directory. Admins choose which attributes are visible and searchable, including phone numbers, addresses, company, department, title, manager, email, and photos. Users can search and sort by fields like name, department, email, and title, view manager/Reports-to relationships as an organizational chart, and export results to CSV or Excel. Only the AD information the administrator enables is shown, supporting simple governance and privacy of directory data.
