keyboards Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Hi We've got five schools under one domain and we want it so that they only see their school and maybe staff at another ie bigschool.com luton.bigschool.com birmingham.bigschool.com liverpool.bigschool.com Any ideas? Thanks
jthompson Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 You might need to have each school as an additional domain within G Suite. That way each would have it's own, separate Directory and email domain name. I'm not sure how you'd share certain contacts into other schools' directories, though. You might have to resort to some sort of manual method, like listing them on a shared document or website.

Mike8080 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 You can make custom directories by using groups: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7566446?hl=en I've done it so that my Students OU can only see members of the Student and Staff groups of my school.
rogerdnixon Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Custom Directories is the way to go. We have 24 schools/organisations on our G Suite setup. Each school has its own custom directory and we have other ones that are things like allstaff across the trust. Based on Group membership. Yuo can user GAMADV-XTD to sync members of multiple OUs into one group.
jthompson Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 The schools have got additional domains ie [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] etc In that example, birmingham and liverpool are actually both on the same domain (bigschool.com), whereas luton is on its own subdomain (luton.bigschool.com), so more separate. In G Suite, you may need to add luton.bigschool.com as an additional domain. I'm guessing that you also want the same for all the other schools as well. So: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] In that case, you'd want luton.bigschool.com, birgmingham.bigschool.com and liverpool.bigschool.com added in G Suite as additional domains. However, I'm not clear on how G Suite works when it comes to using subdomains. It's certainly possible to add different domains (i.e. lutonbigschool.com, birminghambigschool.com and liverpoolbigschool.com) but you'd need to register and maintain each of those domain names separately, rather than just having bigschool.com registered and managing everything under that. Have a look around the Interwebs and/or EduGeek for guidance specific to adding subdomains in G Suite. Others on here may be able to tell you definitively about how the directory contact sharing behaves with additional domains. I'm only assuming that additional domains wouldn't list users from all the other domains as well, but I don't know for certain.
