Guests overview

Invite people from outside your organization to join your Workspace as guests.

Guests are only able to access items that have been shared with them. Additionally, admins and owners can allow or restrict individual guests from using specific features. For example, you can give a hired contractor access to Time Tracking so they can record their hours worked on specific tasks.

What you'll need

  • All ClickUp plans include unlimited view-only guests.
  • Each paid plan includes a specific number of permission-controlled guest seats.
  • Guests cannot invite guests.
  • Custom permissions for guests are available on the Enterprise Plan.

View guests

Guests are easily identified by the orange squares on their avatars:
