Iphone configuration utility-- possible to restrict which EAS options are available?

Question

Hi all-- I'd like to be able to use the iPhone Config Utility (am on 3.4 currently) to create a profile that restricts the user to accessing only some sections of an Exchange account, like being able to see/use the account's Contacts but not the Mail/Calendars/Reminders, etc.  Anyone know if this is possible?  I currently do not see any way to do this.
If not, any suggestions on how to enable EAS access to just the Contacts in an Exchange account?  I can use CalDAV for Calendar info but CardDAV for access to Exchange Contacts is not supported... (reason for restricting this is I am trying to enable a user to have access to her boss' Calendar & Contacts but not Email...)
Many thx in advance for any insight,
Charlie

Ipcu .ipa installs were opened up for folks building internal business tools, hobbyists go want to put their code on their friends devices.... Etc...code that doesn't belong on the AppStore because a developer may not have wanted the code to be for public use. Of course when the kids found out you could do it they would do it too...which isn't good especially if paid apps are getting passed. Then they designed the app panick, which is what you saw when you tried to install .ipas without the proper execution authentication to stay resident on the springboard.
It's woould behoove you to take interest in Apple Configurator.
It brings the best of Xcode, ipcu And iTunes in one UI, basically you own little MDM tool. You can set it up to update firmware, sequentially name, install from backup, push .mobilcobfig (although you still need the local authority on the device to accept..standard security protocol and a good idea anyway, volume install apps after you have imported a key, deploy restrictions, but the best thing is using it with mountain lion server and pushing notifications, updates and policy or provisioning OTA just like the 'MDM companies' charge thousands of people millions of dollars every year.
Use this opportunity to deploy excellence to your customer. Give them a good user experience, address their issues, document the challenges they had and the solutions you provided them, and put your ios Deployment book somewhere people can read it, and when you get that job offer from some other company who wants organic MDM instead of getting ripped off by those other guys...your replacement will be able to read a little and pick up where you left off.
