How Does Adding Users to Google Workspace Work

Each user in a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) needs a primary email address to sign in and receive emails, which requires purchasing a "seat" (or license). If users want additional email addresses, you can create email aliases.

So, what does this mean? This means that you need to buy one seat or license for each user. Each seat allows access to one mailbox, but each mailbox may have up to 30 aliases, giving you a total of 31 email addresses with one seat. You should buy extra seats if you need more than one user to access your domain or manage more than 31 email addresses.
