Who is this training for?
Target audience
- Administrators, IT teams, MSPs and partners operating grommunio.
- Teams managing users, domains, mailboxes and services in daily operations.
- Operations teams that need a traceable basis for support and maintenance.
Boundary to the Engineer Deep Dive
- Administrator: installation, baseline configuration, daily administration and operations.
- Engineer: deeper architecture, integration, diagnostics, mail flow and advanced setups.
- The Engineer Deep Dive builds on the Administrator level.
What you learn
The course covers the tasks administrators actually need in operations.
Installation and baseline configuration
Understand appliance, services, baseline settings, domains, users and administrative tools.
Users and groups
Create, manage and inspect users and perform typical administration tasks in a traceable way.
Operations and maintenance
Understand services, logs, updates, backup notes and typical operational checks.
Daily agenda / modules
Current step Day 1Step 1Day 1: installation, baseline configuration and administration
Build an administrable environment, orientation in Admin UI and CLI, users, domains, groups, mailboxes and basic service checks. Practice: perform administrative tasks and verify results through UI/CLI.
- Day 2Step 2
Day 2: operations, clients, mail flow basics and troubleshooting
Operational routines, web client, ActiveSync/Outlook basics, logs, service states, basic mail flow checks and structured first-level diagnosis. Practice: narrow down an issue, evaluate logs and verify an administrative correction.
Practice in the training
The exercises are designed around typical administrative work.
Administer users
Create, inspect and adjust users, groups, domains and mailboxes.
Inspect services and logs
Evaluate service state, read logs and trace typical operations questions.
Verify client and web access
Check web access, basic functions and simple client scenarios from an administrator perspective.
Keycloak and grommunio-auth in the administrator context
What administrators need to understand in practice
- What grommunio-auth is used for and which role Keycloak plays in the login flow.
- Realm basics, OIDC client, redirect URI, test user and user/group relationship.
- MFA basics, local break-glass administration, token/audience basics and typical client/redirect failures.
Deliberate boundary
The Administrator Training practices the standard product integration and common operational failure patterns. Federation, multiple identity providers, claim mapping, complex flows, passkeys/WebAuthn and high-availability architecture belong in the Engineer Deep Dive.
Hands-on labs
Current step Practice 1Step 1Lab 1: Core administration
Verify domain, user, mailbox, alias, quota, mail send/receive, DNS/TLS, SMTP/IMAP/Submission and mail flow.
- Practice 2Step 2
Lab 2: operations and Keycloak
Connect a prepared Keycloak, verify realm and client, test real login, inspect the redirect, diagnose a configuration error, verify break-glass access, inspect services and logs and classify user/mailbox issues, ActiveSync and basic archive/restore checks.
What the Administrator Training only classifies at a high level
- Rspamd, MDM, Archive, backup/restore, Meet, Chat, Files and Office are classified as operational and verification topics.
- The goal is administrator confidence in daily operations, not full specialist configuration of every add-on module.
- Deep architecture, migration, high-availability and recovery topics follow in the Engineer Deep Dive or in separate project workshops.
What you can do afterwards
- Understand a grommunio environment from an administrative perspective and verify baseline settings.
- Manage users, groups, domains and mailboxes.
- Use Admin UI and CLI for daily operational tasks.
- Practically verify the intended grommunio-auth/Keycloak login path and classify typical redirect/client errors.
- Use services and logs for first-level troubleshooting.
- Handle typical administration and support cases in a structured way.
Included in the training
- Instructor-led training with prepared lab environment, exercises, material and compact runbook.
- Time for questions, practical checks and feedback on typical operational cases.
- Short practical and factual final competency check instead of a formal standardized exam.
- After successful completion, ForgeOne reports the completion to grommunio; grommunio issues the certificate.
- If the required level is not reached yet, the participant may attend the next regular ForgeOne training of the same certification level once free of charge, subject to available seat.
Pricing and delivery
Regular maximum price: EUR 1,900 net per participant. Group tiers can automatically reduce the price. Online or in-house by arrangement.

Delivery guarantee and price determination
Delivery guarantee
Once ForgeOne has accepted your binding registration for a published open training date, the training will take place. You do not need to wait for a participant threshold to be reached; exceptional events remain governed by the applicable terms.
After acceptance, the participant count no longer affects whether the course runs; it can only reduce the price.
Register early without price risk
The regular price shown when you register is your maximum price. If the training reaches a lower group-price tier by seven calendar days before the training starts, your price is automatically reduced. The same established price tier applies to all participants of that open training session.
Registrations accepted after the price cut-off use the already established session price and do not trigger retroactive invoice changes.
The final participant price is determined seven calendar days before training starts. The invoice is issued afterwards; the concrete due date is stated in the offer and confirmation.
Example: if eight participants are bindingly registered seven days before the course starts, every participant in that session receives the group price of EUR 1,700 net instead of EUR 1,900. The invoice is then issued for EUR 1,700 net per participant.
