Creating a New User in Google Admin Console

Step-by-Step

1. Sign in to Admin Console Go to admin.google.com and sign in with your admin account.
2. Navigate to Users From the Admin Console home, click Directory → Users (or use the search bar at the top and type "Users").
3. Click "Add new user" Click the "Add new user" button (the + icon or button in the top-left of the Users list).
4. Fill in the user details
   • First name and Last name
   • Primary email address — this becomes their new Gmail/Workspace address (e.g., john@yourcompany.com)
   • The domain is fixed to your organization's domain
5. Set a password
   • You can auto-generate one or set a temporary password manually.
   • It's best practice to check "Require password change at next sign-in" so the new member sets their own password.
6. Optional: Additional settings
   • Assign them to an Organizational Unit (OU) if your workspace uses them.
   • Add secondary email, phone, job title, etc.
7. Click "Add new user" The account is created immediately. Google will show you a summary with the login details — you can copy or email them to the new member.

After Creation

• The new user can sign in at mail.google.com with their new email address.
• You can manage their account (reset password, assign licenses, add to groups) from Admin Console → Users.
• If your Workspace plan has a user limit, make sure you have an available license seat.
