How do I set privacy settings in StanfordYou to appear in the hospital Global Address List?

If a user's email or identity is set to private, then they will not appear in the university Global Address List (GAL) or the hospital GAL. If it is set to public or Stanford, then they will appear in both the university and hospital GALs. Individual attributes like telephone and work address will only appear in the hospital GAL when set to public. Currently, users from the School of Medicine (VAAA); Land, Buildings & Real Estate  (GLBR); University IT (BACA);  and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (ZZSK) are set to sync with the hospital GAL.
