The steps detailed in this article will guide you through the setup process from start to finish.

Elaborating a little more on the introduction. Gmail allows for you to give other users access to one account, without having to also give those users the account password. This means they will have access to view received message, and reply to them. It also restricts them from viewing or changing your password. It’s also possible to remove this access at any time, and you don’t even have to change your main account password to do so.
Obviously, this feature isn’t going to be for everyone but you can see how useful it is, especially for businesses and even parents who would like to set up an email account for their kids to use but retain full access. If you’re interested to know how to enable the feature below are all the instructions you can follow.
