Add contacts from your company’s directory

---

You can add contacts in five ways.

If your company has opted for Olvid Enterprise with its directory and users and groups Management Console, you can simply add contacts from your company’s directory, as soon as you are registered and authenticated.

1. Tap (bottom center), then Directory.

   If this button is not displayed, register with the directory for the first time.

2. Tap the search box.

   The contacts appear. Otherwise authenticate with the directory.

3. Refine your search, then tap the name of the contact you want to add.

4. Confirm by Tapping Add to contacts.

   A secure channel is created.

5. Tap Chat.

   You can exchange your first messages.

Authenticate with the directory

Access to your company directory is restricted to registered and authenticated users.

Registered users can be recognized by a green shield on their profile photo, indicating that their identities are managed and guaranteed by the corporate directory. Your contacts who are not listed in the directory will not see these green shields.

Only the company has the power to modify their first name, last name, position and company. However, you always have the option of creating other profiles independent of the directory.

Users need to register only once initially to see the Directory button and remain authenticated.

The frequency of authentication renewal is defined by a directory administrator.

Unauthenticated users are prompted to authenticate as soon as they attempt to access the directory.

• On iOS and macOS, Safari should be the default browser for this operation.
