Google Workspace: Renaming a Workspace User

Rename your user on Google Workspace to keep your business content up to date, reflect employee changeover or change the name of a business email (e.g., change sales@mystunningwebsite.com to invoices@mystunningwebsite.com).

Before you begin:

Purchase a personalized Google Workspace business email.

Notes:

• The Workspace user account will not lose any data when you rename a user.

• The user's current email address will become an alias to ensure emails are still delivered when sent to the old address.
