Add email aliases for users from the Google admin console

 

What is an email alias? 

            

Typically, email aliases are created to provide an alternative and easier means to remember long and difficult email addresses. For example, the email address john.smith.junior@econz.net can have a simpler and easier email alias such as jsmith@econz.net, jsmithjnr@econz.net, or even j@econz.net




To add an email alias in the Google Admin Console, follow these steps:



Sign in to your Google Workspace Admin Console at https://admin.google.com.



Click on "Users" under the "Users and groups" section on the dashboard.








Locate the user for whom you want to add an email alias, and click on their name.


Scroll down to the "Email aliases" section and click on "Add an alias."


In the "Add an email alias" window, enter the email address you want to use as an alias for the user.





Click "Add alias."




The new alias will appear in the user's list of email aliases.




Note: The user must first have an existing email address associated with their account before you can add an email alias for them.


By adding email aliases, you can provide your users with additional email addresses that they can use to receive and send emails, without having to create a new user account. This can be useful for managing different departments or roles within your organization, or for personalization purposes.
