Guest policies
People who use your organization's email domain or SSO cannot be added as guests. People who meet these criteria and were previously added as permission-controlled guests will be converted to the limited member role. Limited members are charged the same subscription fee as members.
Guest types
There are three types of guests. Guest types depend on your plan and the permissions given to guests when Workspace items and locations are shared with them. Guests can't be invited to a Space.
Paid plan guests
On paid plans, there are two guest types:
- View only guests: People from outside your organization who only need to view content can be invited as view only guests.
- Permission-controlled guests: People from outside your organization who need to interact with only specific content can be invited as permission-controlled guests.
Free Forever guests
On our Free Forever Plan, there is one guest type:
- Free Forever guests: These guests can only have the full permissions available for the items and locations shared with them.

Identify the guests in your Workspace
Guests are easily identified by the squares in the upper-right corner of their avatars. The square is green when the person is online and white when they're not.
Owners, admins, and member-type users have a green or white circle in the lower-right corner of their avatars.
See user status
User status indicates a person's availability in the Workspace. For example, they're out of office, have paused notifications, or are on vacation.
You can see a person's status to the right of their name.
If a guest's notifications are paused, there's a z on the white circle in the upper-right corner of their avatar.
