HA102064651033.aspx), improved presence management allows various levels of access to
be assigned to your contacts. This enables you to control who can see your contact information
and how much of this information is visible. In other words, you can set up some of your
people with certain access to your presence information. This determines what they can and
can??™t see. You could, for example, set up John and Mary to let them see your mobile phone
number and to let them interrupt you with an IM or phone call when you??™re in the Do Not

see your work phone number, but not your mobile phone. Also, they can??™t interrupt you
when you??™re in Do Not Disturb mode.
Remember that you can assign a Team access level to other contacts. This allows you to
set a level of interruption management. This is simply a list of people who can contact you
when your Presence status is set to Do Not Disturb. You??™re now also able to manually set
your Presence status to Do Not Disturb. You can also do this for any incoming IM, Call, or
