Read-only contact group - Microsoft Community

hi all,

i work in school district uses office365, , trying accomplish having tough time finding solution for.

in nutshell, have list of emergency contacts need distribute group of folks. in ideal world want remove many steps possible end-users these contacts on phones (through exchange) while being able update them needed without asking end-users edit/add/remove contacts. have far:

creating separate account (*** email address removed privacy ***) , asking end-users add onto devices , sync contacts (not calendars or mail). allow administrator of account edit needed , sync across devices.

the problem doing is:

a) providing password account users, isn't huge deal, isn't ideal

b) adding account, end-users have ability of editing contacts , possibly removing contact huge issue should emergency arrive.

is aware of how create account of nature in read-only mode, end-user can add account cell phones , see everything, not edit anything? or alternatively, different approach entirely?

thanks much!
