Enterprise administrators can prevent users from managing shared contacts. If this setting is enabled, users will only be able to create, edit, and delete their private contacts.

Products affected: PitneyShip®, PitneyShip® Pro, PitneyShip® Enterprise

Enterprise administrators can prevent users from managing shared contacts. If this setting is enabled, users will only be able to create, edit, and delete their own private contacts. This means that when users create contacts, the Mark As Private box will be checked and cannot be unchecked. Thus, contacts will only be visible to the user who created them.

Only enterprise administrators can access this setting.

  1. Select Settings > Address Book.
  2. Select Don’t allow user to manage shared contacts.

The features and options you see may vary depending upon your role and subscription. If you have any questions regarding your permissions, please contact your administrator.
