# Add a User Alias or Distribution Group

Within the new Caorda Webmail, User Aliases and Distribution groups are the same. A user alias is a single email address that will forward to the users email address. A distribution group is an email address that forwards mail to one or more email addresses. This guide will help you setup either of these two options for your users. 

**To complete this action you must be logged in as a Domain Administrator.** 

 

### Domain Aliases

To begin setting these up the Domain Administrator needs to navigate to **Domain Settings -> Accounts**. At the top of the Accounts page there is a large button with the title Aliases. **Click on Aliases**. Then, you can **click New** to create a new Alias. 

 

### Enter the Alias details

**Enter a name for the alias.** This name becomes the email address. **If you type "info" it will create info@yourwebsite.com.** After choosing the name, **add the addresses** that this inbox will forward mail to in the Email Addresses field.

If you’re creating an **alias** for a specific user, simply enter that user’s email address.

If the address is intended to be a **distribution group**, list all group members in the same field.

Add a brief description for helpful reference. **When you’re finished, tap or click Save**. The alias or distribution group is now set up and ready for use.
