Contact List Subset

[ThatGuy]

Hello Everyone,
Here is my question. I have a user that is in charge of updating two
contact lists, one is an employee contact list and the other is an
emergency employee contact list. The emergency contact list is for
certain users that should not have access to the entire employee
contact list. Now, the emergency contact list holds a specific subset
of the employee contact list and one user has been updating both
manually. I was thinking of adding a Yes/No checkbox to the employee
contact list and then have the emergency contact list contain only
those contacts where the checkbox is checked in the employee contact
list. Does this make sense? How would I go about doing this or is
there a better solution? Any help would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention one thing. The contact lists are in public
folders, if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

Public folder makes it very simple. Just don't give rights to the full
employee contact list to everyone, but a subset that you enable.

Thanks for the post Milly. A am new to Exchange administration so if
you could be a bit more specific on how to create this subset that
would be great.
