How To Add Users In Your Google Workspace

Melody Jaimon • July 4, 2023

The purpose of adding users to your Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) account is to provide individuals within your organisation with access to various Google services and collaboration tools.


Adding users to your Google Workspace account empowers your organisation with a secure, collaborative, and customised platform that enhances productivity, communication, and data management. It enables you to create a cohesive digital workspace for your team members to collaborate effectively while maintaining control and ensuring the security of your organisational data.



Here are some key reasons for adding users:

1. Email and Communication

Google Workspace offers a professional email solution with a custom domain (e.g., yourname@yourcompany.com). By adding users, you can create email accounts for your employees, enabling them to send and receive emails using your organisation's domain.



2. Collaboration and Productivity

Google Workspace includes a suite of productivity tools such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. Adding users allows your team members to collaborate in real-time, share documents, and work together on projects.



3. File Storage and Sharing

With Google Drive, users can store files in the cloud and access them from any device. By adding users, you can control access permissions, share files and folders within your organisation, and collaborate securely.



4. Calendar and Scheduling

Google Calendar helps users manage their schedules, set up meetings, and share availability with colleagues. Adding users allows you to create and manage calendars for different departments or teams, simplifying scheduling and coordination.



5. Administering and Managing Resources

Adding users with administrative roles enables you to manage and control various aspects of your Google Workspace account, including user settings, security, device management, and access to additional services.



6. Access to Additional Services

Google Workspace offers a range of additional services and applications, such as Google Meet for video conferencing, Google Forms for surveys, Google Sites for creating websites, and more. By adding users, you can grant access to these services as needed.
