Google directory ?

I've been asked to see if we can make it so for staff (we have students as well) when they look at the directory they don't see the students in it. I guess its too hard for them to sort. I am aware of the custom directory settings called directory vsibilty whic does work but when I had that setup it effected the teachers ablity to share docs with students where as now they can hit share and type a few letters and it sees the students email from the directory. When we had them excluded from the directory visiblilty they'd have to know the students exact email address to share something and that was too much for them

 

Is there a middle gound solution to this where we can hide students from staff in the directory but not effect the sharing function?

They can't have the cake and eat it too.

Thats what I figured but thought I'd ask the pros... I see you can also label people in your contacts but I wonder if thats a per user setting. I cannot find anything in the amin console nor GAM to do it

 

 

Contacts Labels/Groups can be managed with GAM, but they are individual.

They also don't work in reverse. Can't label some and then not see them.

Anything done in Contacts is to increase visibility.

Doing this creates an issue when tagging people in comments, in Docs, Sheets, etc..  as you have to enter their full email - which is a bit of a pain when it comes to marking students' work.
