Is there any workaround for sharing contacts (person to person) in Google Apps?

I know there are tools that allow you to create a global contact sharing list but in order for my company to move to Google Apps we need to continue to be able to share individual contacts lists from person to person.

Scenario:

A partner needs to be able to have a private contact list that they share only with their admin who adds contacts to that specific list.

Does anybody know of any tools or workarounds to do this while using Google Apps?

Thanks.

There is an option for person to person contact access. This isn't "sharing" of contacts between accounts like you can do with Docs but it may be a solution -and it's built into Google Apps.

It's called Delegation.

In your email settings, in the accounts tab, look for "Grant access to your account:".

You could set this up on a person-to-person basis.

Also, when Google+ becomes available as a service in google apps, you will be able to construct circles and share them with others in your domain.  This may ultimately be what you are looking for.
