What is and how to set a G Suite account

G suite is a Google platform for business e-mail and team management that can be accessed in any device. Entrepreneurs usually use it to set a company’s emails for all the team members.

If you have a company and you want it to succeed on the internet it is highly recommended that you sign up for a G suite account.

We have noticed that some people struggle to create their corporate team e-mail because they don’t understand that G suite set up process is a part of a google account. So we found it useful to talk about it a little:

HOW TO ADD A NEW USER (only for Admin users)

• The information you would need are the person’s first, last name and you might also want to have a secondary email address to send an email message with sign-in details for the new account
• When creating the username you should consider that it will consist in the first part of the new user’s email (what comes before the @). Some people choose to use something generic like “contact”, so the future e-mail would be like [email protected]
• You can give the new user full administrative access on the G Suite account through the Administrator option (G Suite accounts need at least one Administrator).
• Since you are an Administrator user you can automatically generate a password for the new user, or to create one
• There are optional data entries for the new user such as phone number and picture
• If a secondary email address was added for the new user, he/she will receive a welcome email message that explains how to sign in for the first time
• Google gives 30 GB of storage space for each user, including their email and attachments,  and adverts that It could take up to 24 hours for a new user account to appear in the searchable G Suite Directory.
