Manage Mail Infomaniak user rights
This guide explains how to manage and modify the permissions of an Infomaniak user so that they can manage more or fewer configuration elements (change the password, set up an alias, etc., see below for the complete list) on Infomaniak Mail.
When and Why?
In fact, the email address is first created within a Mail Service, and it can be used within one or more Mail interfaces (Infomaniak Webmail) by one or more users.
However, the creator (or manager) of the address may want to limit the possible actions for one or more of the users who will use the email address.
This permission management can be done when creating an address or afterward, and you can also define the default rights for any new address created (read Global Configuration below).
List of actions on an email address
Actions | Descriptions |
---|---|
Change Password | Allows you to change the email address password |
Manage Autoresponder | Allows you to create an out-of-office message (automatic reply) |
Manage Signatures | Allows you to add signatures and manage reply email addresses |
Manage Forwarding | Allows you to forward your emails to one or more other email addresses |
Manage Aliases | Allows you to create variants of your email address (by modifying what's before the @) |
Manage Rules | Allows you to manage anti-spam and advertising filters and create rules to automatically categorize your emails into folders in your mailbox |
Manage Folder Configuration | Allows you to customize IMAP folders (drafts, sent messages, spam, trash, archive) of your Infomaniak email address with the folders in your email client (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Spark, etc.) |
Manage Security | Allows you to manage blocked and approved addresses |

Global Configuration
To set the default permissions that will be automatically applied when creating a new address on your mail service:
- Login to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) using a web browser like Brave or Firefox
- Click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example)

- At the bottom, enable or disable the permissions to be granted when creating new addresses in the future
To apply this configuration with different permissions to existing addresses, go back to your Mail Service and select the addresses that should inherit the global configuration, then click at the bottom in the menu that appears on Apply Global Permissions.
