Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy Help

Add user email accounts

As your business grows, your employees might need their own Microsoft 365 email addresses. Add a user and set up a new email address.


Required: In the Email & Office Dashboard, you need to set up any existing accounts as users before you can purchase new ones. To keep your existing accounts and buy new ones, go to GoDaddy's website. If you recently deleted a user, you might need to wait up to 1 day to use the credit.
  1. Sign in to your Email & Office Dashboard (use your GoDaddy username and password).
  2. Select Add user.
  3. If you have multiple account types available, under the Microsoft 365 account type you want to set up, select Get started. If you have 1 or no accounts available, continue to step 4.
  4. Select the domain you want to use, and then Continue.
    • If you don't have any available users, select a plan, and then complete the purchase.
  5. On the Create new email account page, you’ll see either the Create single email or Create multiple emails page depending on your number of available accounts. Select the appropriate tab based on what's displayed in your Email & Office Dashboard, and then follow the steps:
