This guide explains how to invite a user who is still external to your Organization to kChat but who will be counted as a my kSuite user.

Preamble

• Refer to this other guide to grant access to one or more kChat channels to an external user who can thus interact with your team without counting as a my kSuite user and without having any special rights in the Organization (of which they will not be a part).
• You can also invite an entire work team from kChat.
• Refer to this other guide if you wish to manage the channels to which new members must automatically belong.

Invite to use my kSuite

Prerequisites

•  Be an administrator of the Organization where my kSuite is located with full rights granted for kChat.
   

Once invited, the user can confirm their membership and will access kChat with the limited permissions you have granted them:

1. Click here to access the management of kChat on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click on Add a user:
   
3. Click on Create a my kSuite user.
4. Click on Next:
   
5. Enter the user's first and last name, and define their role as a basic user:
   • Legal representative
     • Legal responsibility of the organization
     • Can manage all products and users
     • Can manage accounting and orders for new products
   • Administrator
     • Can manage all products and users
     • Can manage accounting and orders for new products
   • User
     • Can manage the products you authorize
     • Can manage accounting if you authorize it
6. Do not create an email address for the user and indicate their existing email address to which to send the invitation:
   • You can force this future user to log in with this email address or allow them to specify another email address (useful if they already have a user account with Infomaniak with another login identifier).
   • Add the user to your my kSuite with the toggle switch.
7. Click on the Invite button:
   
   • The invitation is pending until the invited user's final registration (see below). The Organization's user dashboard clearly indicates this status:
     

Accept the invitation

To access the Organization holding kChat:

1. The invited user receives the invitation on their email and clicks on the Accept the invitation button:
   
2. They specify their contact details as well as the email/password they wish to use and complete the registration:
   
3. Once registration is complete, the newly registered user can log in to their Manager and access kChat to which they have been invited.
4. Existing users are automatically notified of the new participant's arrival and can now converse with them; as soon as they are added, the new user receives a message from Euria (Infomaniak AI Bot) welcoming them:
   

Access to kSuite, not access to kSuite management!

It is important to distinguish the use of the kChat app (within kSuite) and the management of kSuite itself.

In the invitation example above, the new user has been invited to join kChat, so they are now counted as a kSuite user when an administrator accesses kChat user management:

The same applies, of course, to kSuite user management:

However, this new user will not be able to directly manage the kSuite to which they have been invited, as their role (defined in the first point 5 above) does not authorize them to do so:

1. This is why this user will see no active links in the Collaborative Tools → kSuite section of their Infomaniak Manager.
2. They will need to switch to the Infomaniak applications using the menu at the top right:
   

Note that if they wish, this user can order their own kSuite without any connection to the kSuite to which they have been invited.
