Add People to the Office 365 GAL

If you’re using Office 365 for Small Business or higher then you might be wondering about how to add external users to the GAL (that’s the Global Address List). Automatically, people inside your company domain will appear in the list but if you want to add other people then it might not be immediately apparent.

Anyway, here is how you do it:

  1. Login to the Office 365 Administration Portal,
  2. Under Users & Groups click on Add users, reset passwords, and more,
  3. Click the Contacts tab,
  4. Click the + button to add a new external contact.

This way, everyone on your Office 365 domain can make use of these contacts without having them in their account specific contacts list.
