Address Books Management

The AnyDesk Address Book is like your phone's contact list, but for the devices you connect to. You can organize these contacts by adding tags to them, which helps you find them easily.
	Personal Address Book Organization Address Book

Every user gets their personal Address Book. If you are a part of a team or organization, you can also access your organization's Address Book. 

Your Address Books stay up-to-date across all your devices. So, if you make changes to it on the my.anydesk II management console or the AnyDesk client, those changes will show up everywhere you use AnyDesk.

Personal Address Book

Once you create an account with AnyDesk, a personal Address Book is automatically created for you. The personal Address Book is only visible to you and only you can edit it. The personal Address Book cannot be deleted. 

To access your personal Address Book: 

1. In your my.anydesk II account, go to Address Books. 
2. In the Personal Address Book section, open My address book.
   

You can also view the details of the address book by navigating to Address Books > My address book > Options > Details.

Organization Address Book

If you are a member of a team or organization, you can also view your organization's or team's Address Books if you have the permissions to do so. To edit or create new organization Address Book, the license owner or admin needs to give you permission and access to do that. 

Once you have received the permissions required, you can do the following: 

• Create an Organization Address Book
• Add Clients
• Import Entries 
• Export Entries 

Create an Organization Address Book

To create an organization address book: 

1. In your my.anydesk II account, go to Address Books and click Create Address Book. 
2. In the pop-up window, enter the name for the organization address book.
3. Click Create. 

Limit Access to the Address Book

This feature offers a powerful way to manage data compartmentalization and access control within your organization. It allows administrators to determine which roles within the organization can access specific address books, improving both security and operational clarity.

Steps to Limit Access:

1. Navigate to the address book you wish to manage access for.

2. Within the address book settings, click on the “Access Management” dropdown.

3. Choose the specific my.anydesk II role(s) within your organization that should have access to this address book. Only users logged into the AnyDesk client or my.anydesk II customer portal with the selected roles will be able to view and interact with this address book.

4. If you select “All licensed clients”, every AnyDesk client associated with your license (either via account or license key) and granted access to the Address Book feature will be able to access the address book.

Benefits:

• Data Security: By limiting access to specific roles, you can ensure that sensitive address book information is only available to those who need it.

• Operational Efficiency: Streamlined access management helps avoid unnecessary access, keeping operations focused and organized.

Add Clients
