In today’s digital learning environments, managing user visibility within school directories is critical to maintaining a secure and efficient workspace. One often overlooked setting is the visibility of all users by default. When all accounts—active, suspended, or administrative—are visible to everyone, it can lead to confusion, unnecessary data exposure, and reduced operational clarity.

Get Set Tech recommends configuring your Google Workspace Admin Console to display only users in a custom directory. By limiting directory access to relevant, active users, schools can significantly enhance both security and user experience. This adjustment minimizes distractions in the directory search while reducing the risk of exposing sensitive or dormant accounts.

Whether your district is large or small, applying this setting ensures your school operates with tighter data governance, streamlined directory management, and improved compliance with educational IT standards. It’s a simple step with powerful long-term benefits.
