This guide explains how to add, modify, remove users from an Organization within 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.).
- Only a owner/legal representative can make changes.
- A potential collaborator who also has access to your Organization will not be able to modify details from their restricted account.
Manage the Organization's users
Add a new user
- As a user of the Organization with sufficient rights, you can add a new user.
- This could be someone completely external to Infomaniak or someone who already has their own Infomaniak user account that they can, if they wish, reuse by extending it to your Organization.
- You will be able to specify his role within the Organization, the products he will have access to, as well as the administrative contact preferences during the addition.
Remove a user
- As a user of the Organization with sufficient rights, you can remove one or more users.
- You can also leave an Organization you belong to on your own.
Modify a user's permissions/rights
- As a user of the Organization with sufficient rights, you can modify the role of another user, manage the products they have access to, as well as the administrative contact preferences, whether they are yours or those of others.
Replace a legal representative
- To change the legal representative of an Organization in the Manager, it is necessary to remove the user who has the role of legal representative, which implies naming a new legal representative in advance (indeed, it is impossible to remove a legal representative if there is no other legal representative for the Organization).
Manage users in work teams
You can organize the Organization's users into work teams.
This guide explains how to enable or disable automatic renewal of your products.

- When placing new orders or renewing a product, this feature is automatically activated if you use a supported payment method (CB, Visa and MasterCard cards).

- Once automatic renewal is activated, the first payment attempt occurs 14 days before the product's expiration date.

Learn more about Infomaniak
This guide details the various identifiers that you will use with Infomaniak, and what happens if one of the passwords is changed.
Preamble
- As is the case with many other online services, you identified yourself with Infomaniak upon registration using a personal email address.
- This personal email address serves as your login identifier when you want to connect to Infomaniak services.
- This login identifier has its own password (which you chose when creating your Infomaniak user account - your personal email address, see above).
There is no connection between…
- … this identifier/password pair described in points 1/2/3 above…
- … and the email addresses that you have created or obtained subsequently with Infomaniak.
There could be only one connection if the spelling is the same (for example, you signed up with the email address toto@abc.xyz and you manage the email address toto@abc.xyz with Infomaniak) but even in this case, the password will very likely be different, once for the login identifier toto@abc.xyz and once for the email address toto@abc.xyz.
When should you specify…
… the login ID?
- Whether it's on mail.infomaniak.com or the Infomaniak Mail app, it is essential to log in with…
- … the identifier for your Infomaniak user account…
- … and its password.
- ⚠️ This will NOT work by entering an email address and its password directly (if no user account exists with the same spelling and password).
That is why it is recommended to register with Infomaniak using your personal address such as the one provided by your Internet Service Provider (Orange, Sunrise, Free, etc.) or that of a provider like Yahoo etc.
… the email address?
- In an email software/client (like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) you must enter…
- … the email address you wish to access…
- … and its password.
- ⚠️ This will NOT work by entering the password you use to log in to the Infomaniak interface, as this password is very likely different!
So if you can log in to a page like mail.infomaniak.com with toto@abc.xyz (and the password you just changed, for example), this does not mean that checking the address toto@abc.xyz on your usual email software/client will work just because you enter toto@abc.xyz and the password you just changed, which works for accessing web tools...
Troubleshoot a connection issue
There is no need to contact Infomaniak Support (which does not have any of your passwords) if…
- … you fail to log in to interfaces such as mail.infomaniak.com or manager.infomaniak.com due to an incorrect password…
- The only solution is the reset of the login password.
- … you are unable to connect your email address to your email software/client (such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) due to an incorrect password:
- Test the email address / password combination to check if an error is mentioned.
- Reset the email password if necessary.
To remember
In summary, you have:
- 1 identifier (in the form of an email address) and 1 password to access…
- … to Mail https://mail.infomaniak.com
- … to Manager https://manager.infomaniak.com
- 1 password for each email address hosted at Infomaniak
These two pieces of information may be identical or not, depending on your choice. And if you change one, it will not necessarily change the other unless they have been unified (this will be specified - read below).
In which case are the passwords unified?
Suppose that within the Mail Service that you own in your Infomaniak account, you create an email address named julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz (password 123-Abc).
If then an Infomaniak account…
- … is created with the same name (julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz - password does not matter)…
- … is the only account to access the email address julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz via mail.infomaniak.com…
- … has sufficient permissions to change the email password…
… then the password unification will be offered when you go through the process of changing the email password from the Infomaniak account in question.
And the other credentials?
Acquiring other Infomaniak products involves obtaining other credentials such as those for FTP, MySQL, SSH, WebDAV connections, etc. but they are entirely independent of the 2 types of credentials described above.
kAuth is a free mobile application that enhances and simplifies the security of Infomaniak accounts protected by two-factor authentication (or double authentication). It is one of the methods that allows you to secure access to your Infomaniak user account.
Preamble
- Two-step verification protects your account and personal data when logging into Infomaniak tools (manager.infomaniak.com and mail.infomaniak.com) by asking for:
- your password
- and a second security method
The app kAuth is one of these methods (learn more about 2FA)
Install the kAuth app
Prerequisites
- Have an Infomaniak account (know your username and password)
- Have a mobile device running iOS/Android
- Download the app from your mobile device by clicking on the link corresponding to your operating system:
Install and open the application.
Then, you have two options to link your Infomaniak accounts to kAuth:
- Log in from this mobile device (recommended):
- Open the kAuth app on your mobile device.
- Click on Log in from this mobile device.
- Enter the credentials for the Infomaniak account to link and authenticate your connection if necessary (need help?).
- Click the Authorize button.
- Log in from a computer (if you choose this method, you will need a computer connected to the Internet):
- Open the kAuth app from a mobile device.
- Click on Log in from a computer.
- On your computer, open the page manager.infomaniak.com/2fa
- if two-step verification is not yet activated: click on Activate and choose kAuth Application.
- if two-step verification is already activated: click on Add an option then choose kAuth Application.
- On your mobile device, click on Continue.
- If necessary, allow kAuth to access your camera (only required to scan the identification QR code).
- On your computer, click on Next to display the QR code to scan.
- Scan the QR code displayed on the computer.
Save the backup codes
If you have just activated double authentication, the application will automatically display your 10 personal backup codes.
Download and keep a copy of these codes as they will be the only way to access your account in case you lose your credentials or to access your account without access to your phone.
How the app works
When you attempt to log in to your account and after successfully entering your usual password, you receive a push notification on your mobile device asking you to authorize the connection ("YES / NO"), via a notification:
or directly in the app:
If the connection is authorized, the initial page is automatically redirected to the Infomaniak account. You do not need to manually enter a one-time code as with a traditional OTP app or a code sent by SMS.
And without an internet connection?
The notifications push do not work without an internet connection, but kAuth also works without an internet connection and always allows you to display a one-time code in the same way as a OTP traditional:
- Open kAuth from your mobile device.
- Click on the relevant Infomaniak account.
- Copy the one-time code (each code is valid for 30 seconds) on the login page:
You can always access your account while traveling or on vacation.
Add additional accounts
kAuth allows you to manage multiple Infomaniak accounts:
- Open kAuth from your mobile device.
- Click on the blue button :
- Repeat the steps described above to link the account.
Delete a kAuth account
To delete your Infomaniak identity from the kAuth app, you must disable the kAuth security method from the 2FA section of the Manager.
