When users or groups are created in an organization, their email addresses and details in their Exchange account are automatically added to the organization contacts. The admin can choose whether or not to sync these organization contacts when the account is configured via Exchange ActiveSync protocol in mobile devices or Outlook 2013 & above. If enabled, those email addresses will automatically appear in the autofill and their address book when the users compose emails. 

When the user contacts are synced using ActiveSync, the organization contacts can also be synced to the devices.  The administrator can choose to enable or disable EAS Org Contacts Sync from the Admin Console.
