Share contacts

This function allows you to share contacts with other users or groups. The shared users/groups may have View or Edit permissions on the shared contacts.

Note

The shared users can move or delete the shared contact only from their address books. It means that the shared contact still exists in the Shared address book of another shared users and of the creator/author. The shared contact will be permanently deleted in the Shared address books of the shared users or cannot be shared with other users if it is removed by the creator/author.
