This guide explains how to have multiple domain names linked to an existing kSuite, by adding additional domain names to it.
Prerequisites
- Own the new domain name (if necessary it will need to be created beforehand).
- Familiarize yourself with the instructions in this other guide by applying the instructions corresponding to your situation (this is so that the domain name works when it is attached to your kSuite).
Add a domain to kSuite
Once the new domain name is ready to be used alongside the old one, you need to add it to kSuite:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click on the Settings icon at the top right.
- Click on kSuite in the left sidebar.
- Click on Domains:
- Click the blue button Add a domain alias:
- Click the blue button Add a linked domain:
You can also consider a reversal of the additional domain linked to kSuite, with its main domain, in order to change the domain name of your kSuite.
This guide explains how to invite an external user to your Organization on kChat who will be counted as a kSuite user.
Preliminary
- 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 being counted as a kSuite user and without having any special rights in the Organization (of which they will not be a part).
- You can also invite a work team in full from kChat.
- Refer to this other guide if you wish to manage the channels to which new members will automatically belong.
Invite to use kSuite
Prerequisites
- Be an administrator of the Organization where kSuite is located with full rights granted for kChat.
Once invited, the user will be able to confirm their membership and access kChat with the limited permissions that you will have granted them:
- Click here to access the management of kChat on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click on Add a user:
- Click on Create a kSuite user.
- Click on Next:
- Enter the user's first and last name, and define their role as a simple user:
- Legal representative
- Legal responsibility for 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
- Legal representative
- 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 (especially useful if they already have a user account with Infomaniak under a different login ID).
- Add the user to your kSuite with the toggle switch.
- Click on the Invite button:
The invitation is pending until the invited user completes their registration (read more below). The Organization's user dashboard clearly indicates this status:
Accept the invitation
To access the Organization holding kChat:
- The invited user receives the invitation at their email address and clicks on the Accept the invitation button:
- He specifies his contact details as well as the email address/password he wishes to use and completes the registration:
- Once registration is complete, the newly registered user can log in to their Manager and access kChat to which they have been invited.
- 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 welcome message from kChat.bot:
Access to kSuite, not access to managing kSuite!
It is important to differentiate 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. They are counted as a kSuite user when an administrator accesses the management of their kSuite users:
However, this new user will not be able to directly manage the kSuite to which he was invited since his role (defined in the first point 5 above) does not authorize him to do so.
This is why this user will not see any active links in the Collaborative Tools → kSuite section of their Infomaniak Manager. They will need to switch to the Infomaniak applications using the menu at the top right:
Note that if necessary, this user can order their own kSuite with no connection to the kSuite to which they were invited.

This guide explains how to start an audio or video conversation between one or more users kChat, with Infomaniak's free ethical videoconferencing solution, kMeet.
Introduction

- The microphone is enabled by default when the call is accepted, but not the camera.
- View the users of the meeting (who accepted, declined, or missed it) using the avatars in the kChat message.
- Once the call has started, an emoji appears in your kChat status to indicate that you are busy with the conversation.
- A message sent from the video (kMeet) will also be visible in the kChat conversation (and vice versa).
- Indications regarding the start and end of the meeting automatically appear in the relevant kChat conversation thread.
Specifics for calls in channels
