Guests are people you've invited to your Workspace by sharing specific items with them. Guests only have access to those shared items.

There are two guest types:

• External guests: People from outside your organization.
• Internal guests: People from inside your organization. Internal guests are charged as members. 

What you'll need

• Workspace owners and admins can invite guests to a Workspace on any ClickUp Plan.

  • Free Forever guests always have the full permissions that are available for the items shared with them.

  • Each paid plan includes a specific number of permission-controlled guest seats.
  • Business Plus Plan and Enterprise Plan Workspaces also have custom roles and custom permissions available.

Invite a guest

Owners, admins, and members can invite guests by sharing the following items with them:

• Folders, Lists, and tasks
• Docs
• Dashboards
• Goals 
• Views
• Templates

There are four permission levels available for guests on paid plans. Guests invited to Free Forever Workspaces can only have full permissions:

• View only: Read-only. Can't comment or edit.

• Comment: Can comment. 

• Edit: Can edit, but not delete.

• Full: Can edit and delete.

Permissions vary by the type of item and user role. Learn more about permissions in detail.

To invite a guest:

1. From the Sidebar to the right of the location, click the ellipsis ... to open the Settings menu.

   • If you invite an internal guest, you will be charged the same amount as adding a member.
