This guide explains how to modify product access rights for a user in your Organization on the Manager Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Since you opened your account with Infomaniak, you are part of at least one Organization.
- If you were alone and it was not an invitation, an Organization was created in your name and you automatically become the legal responsible.
- Otherwise, you belong to the Organization that invited you (to join its kSuite, to manage a product, etc.).
- It is possible to modify a user's role within your Organization.
- You can then define whether a user…
- … is part of your Organization and should become:
- Legal representative
- Administrator
- Collaborator (this part is detailed below…)
- … is external to your Organization (limited rights):
- External users are not included in the sharing of calendars and address books with the entire Organization.
- … is part of your Organization and should become:
Who can access what…
Prerequisites
- To be Administrator or Legal Representative within the Organization.
- Have added a user as a collaborator.
The guide below allows you to manage product access for collaborators and external users. Indeed, a legal representative or an Administrator already has access to all existing products within the Organization and visible on the Infomaniak Manager.
To modify a user's product access in the Organization:
- Click here to access user management on the Manager Infomaniak (need help?).
- Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the user in question.
- Click on Edit product access:
- Expand the tabs/accordions by product if necessary.
- Click on the product category to which you want to grant access.
- Select the necessary product(s).
- If you have selected multiple products, decide whether a future additional product should automatically be visible to the user (and with what type of permissions).
- Click the Save button:
- Start again at step 5 if you need to grant access to multiple products. You can also grant full access with maximum permissions in 1 click:
Service usage / Service management
Note, on your product table, it is important to distinguish between product access (such as kDrive within the kSuite) and product management access:It is possible to allow a user to use kDrive (they will be able to create a PDF, for example) without granting them kDrive service management rights (they will not be able to change the offer, invite a new user, cancel, etc.).
Technical rights / Statistical rights
With certain services like kDrive, it is possible to grant a collaborator TECHNICAL and/or STATISTICAL rights (adds access to the dashboard, share links, storage statistics, active users, connected devices, activity on the kDrive):
Other services like domain names do not have a STATISTICS section:
Some specific services like the billetterie allow you to grant even more detailed rights:
Easier access: Work Teams
To facilitate the addition of access rights to a product within your Organization, there are Work Teams. These allow you to create groups linked to Infomaniak products with the desired rights, very practical for giving a new collaborator in your Organization access to the products they will need in their daily activity.

Transfer emails from Gmail to Infomaniak
a. Recreate the email address(es) on Infomaniak
If you have many (10+) email addresses to create, follow this procedure for bulk creation.
Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and create the email addresses:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click the blue button Create an email address in the top right corner.
- Enter the address (what comes before the at sign @) for example contact or michelle.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Select I will consult the email address alone.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Enter a password.
- Click the blue Continue button.
- Click the blue Finish button.
- Start again at point 3 above to recreate all the email addresses identically.
b. Import the mail content from Google to Infomaniak
If you have many (10+) email addresses to import, follow this procedure for bulk import.
Access the Infomaniak Mail Service and import your emails:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on the chevron in the right part of the blue Create an email address button.
- Click on Import emails (direct link).
- Click on Import my emails into a single email address.
- Enter the existing email address at Google.
- Enter the password for this email address.
- Click on Advanced settings.
- Enter
imap.gmail.com
in IMAP Server Address (or trymail.gmail.com
in case of error). - Enter
993
in IMAP Port. - Enable SSL and disable TLS.
- Click on the blue button Validate and continue.
- Enter the email address (which was recreated at Infomaniak at point a.10 above).
- Click on the blue button Import emails.
- The import starts and runs in the background. An email is sent once the import is complete.
- Start again at step 3 above to import the rest of the email addresses.
Labels and storage space
The storage space displayed at Infomaniak may not match that indicated in Gmail, notably due to the different management of labels/tags.
Indeed, these, present in Gmail, will be converted into folders on the Infomaniak servers (same principle as when using an email client/software IMAP like Thunderbird):
As a result, an email tagged in multiple Gmail folders can be counted multiple times during migration, which explains why an account showing, for example, 6 GB in Gmail can take up 18 GB once transferred to Infomaniak servers.
Adjust the application settings
As soon as you have ensured that the domain name associated with your email works with Infomaniak, adjust the settings of the email software/clients you use so that they connect correctly to the Infomaniak servers: follow the configuration assistant.

Resolve event duplicates
If you notice duplicated events in your Outlook calendar that are not duplicated on calendar.infomaniak.com, apply these settings:
- Click to Show Advanced Settings.
- Click on Event Mapping Configuration.
- Check the box Use GlobalAppointmentID for UID attribute.
- Check the box Cleanup duplicate events.
- Save the changes by clicking the OK button:
This deletion of duplicate events and therefore potentially duplicate invitations, may result in a notification of event refusal to the organizer, however, this has no impact on the participant's initial choice.
And on macOS?
There is an alternative for Outlook / Exchange on macOS, via the python script ews-caldav-sync:
- Unlike an ICS file import provided by Outlook Web, which only includes the last few weeks of events, the script will import all calendar events, including event series, but not tasks.
- Synchronization via this script is one-way, from Microsoft Exchange to the CalDAV server. It is recommended to run it at regular intervals.
⚠️ All the services offered by Infomaniak are compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (notably IMAP/SMTP for email, WebDAV for sharing, S3/Swift for storage, etc.). Therefore, if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher directly or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak Terms and Conditions.
This guide explains how to share one of your calendars/agendas with other Infomaniak users, collaborators, from the Infomaniak web app Calendar (online service calendar.infomaniak.com for managing your events and appointments).

This guide explains how to download and use the mobile app Infomaniak kSync for Android devices (Samsung, Huawei, Google Pixel, etc.).
Introduction
- Refer to this other guide for an example of how to use kSync: synchronizing an Infomaniak calendar with a Google agenda.
Set up kSync
Prerequisites
- Download the mobile app Infomaniak kSync (app for Android smartphone or tablet) here:
- The kSync app is also available on F-droid.
- Install kSync.
Then:
- Open kSync from your Android device, a step-by-step assistant will help you configure the application according to your needs.
- Decide whether you want to sync tasks.
- Allow kSync to access the required items.
- Allow the application to run in the background for better synchronization (uses more battery).
Once the application is open and pre-configured:
- Press the button to open the window to connect to your Infomaniak user account:
- Enter your login information for the user account containing your Infomaniak calendar(s) to be synchronized with your Android device.
- Under the Address Books CARDDAV tab, select the address book(s) that should appear on your device.
- Under the Agendas CALDAV tab, select the calendar(s) that should display on your device.
- Start the synchronization with the button located at the bottom right.
Synchronization settings
After tapping the account to synchronize, click on the Settings icon at the top right of the interface to adjust some important settings:
- Synchronization interval: you have the possibility to modify the frequency of synchronizations (15, 30, 60 minutes, etc.) for each type of information (address books, calendars, tasks).
- Wi-Fi synchronization only (and if so, with which networks...).
- Limit for displaying past events.
- Display of colors.
- Display of contact groups.
kSync General Settings
Tap the back arrow at the top left of the screen to return to the home page.
Press the three horizontal line menu button ☰ then Settings.
How synchronization works
Once the kSync app is configured, the selected items are automatically synchronized with the Contacts and Agenda apps, which are installed by default on an Android device.
These applications will allow you to display or hide the address books currently synchronized with Infomaniak:
Synchronization is bidirectional by default, which means that without any particular settings on your part (read below) the modifications made on your phone in these new address books and agendas will be reflected in your Infomaniak interface (Calendar and Contacts) and vice versa. You can add a contact to the address book currently synchronized with Infomaniak, same for an event on the calendar::
Once added on either side, the information is synchronized at the set interval:
Do not allow modifications on the device
It is possible to force read-only via kSync which means that the items are synchronized but cannot be modified by the device.
To do this, on the settings page of the Infomaniak account of your choice, in the Address Books CARDDAV or Calendars CALDAV tab, press the action menu ⋮ to the right of the line of your synchronized items. Check the box "Force read only":
