Hi too,
if I understand your problem correctly you have a lot of users in your LDAP directory and just a subset of all users should be able to access eGeoupware. In addition you want just those user accounts show up in eGroupware.
I think the best solution would be to put eGroupware users into a different “ou” in your LDAP directory. If you have all your users in say “o=myorg,dc=domain,dc=com”, you could greate “ou=egroupware,o=myorg,dc=domain,dc=com”. Just set the new “ou” as search context in your eGroupware setup. Entries in your new “ou” will most likely still be visible to other applications using LDAP, you might want to check filter settings though.
If you already have a more diverse organisational hierarchy implemented in LDAP you might want to set a filter for getting just eGroupware users. For example if you have the MozillaAbPerson Schema imported in your LDAP and you don’t use it for other users, you could use it as a “tag” for eGroupware users. You could set “objectclass=mozillaAbPersonAlpha” for all your eGroupware users and use the filter “(&(uid=%user)(objectclass=mozillaAbPersonAlpha))” as LDAP search filter in your eGroupware account.
With filters you can basically use any attribute in your LDAP directory, just go through your structure and schemas to find out which attributes can help you with the decision if an entry is a eGroupware user.
I think solving this with LDAP mechanism is the cleanest way to solve your problem. Hope I could help you.

Hi,
Is there any way to hide certain users from the Addressbook list to
every user?
My problem is that my LDAP User List is quite big, and some entries does
not have anything to do with eGroupware. Certain users could even want,
for whatever reason, to kept hidden from users list.
