# APC - Personal Outlook Contacts

The APC data source in SCA provides access to **the user’s personal Outlook contacts**. These contacts are fully managed by the user — unlike other data sources, users can **add, edit, and delete** them directly within SCA. Contacts are queried via the **Microsoft Graph API**, and are stored in the user’s personal Outlook contacts, **accessible and manageable from any Outlook client (Windows, Mac, Web, or mobile)**.

#### App Configuration Parameters

**Defaults (**[**`SecContacts.Defaults`**](https://docs.secure-contacts.com/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults)**):**

#### Requirements for Contacts

Any personal Outlook contact to be shown in SCA **must have the following fields populated**:

1. **First name**
2. **Last name**
3. **Valid phone number** (optional)

**Note:** These contacts are fully managed by the user, and any changes made in SCA (add, edit, delete) are reflected in their personal Outlook contacts.

{% hint style="success" %}

* Each data source, including APC, can be **hidden by the user** if they do not want to see or use it.
* Hiding the APC data source does **not affect Caller Identification** — contacts from hidden sources will still resolve incoming calls.
* Unlike other sources, APC contacts are **fully user-managed**, not admin-managed.
