How to add or remove an email alias in Google Apps?

In G Suite (formally Google Apps), you can give a user an alternate address for receiving the email (now called email alias). Why use an alias? If [email protected] wants a sales address for posting to the company website, give him the email alias [email protected]. Mail sent to either address then appears in Bill’s Gmail inbox. It can be done easily by adding an email alias to the user’s account in your Google Admin console.
