Guests are great for working with people outside your organization who only need to access specific items in your Workspace.

In ClickUp, guests are added to Folders, Lists, and tasks. To add a guest, find what you want to share, and invite your guest to it!

What you'll need

• You can invite guests to join a Workspace on any ClickUp Plan.

  • You can't limit guest permissions on the Free Forever Plan.

  • You can invite guests with a full range of permissions on any paid Plan Workspace.

  • Guests with more than view-only permissions or that are added to Teams will take up a paid guest seat.

  • If you don't have any paid guest seats available, you'll be charged a prorated amount based on your billing cycle for a paid member seat to increase the number of paid guest seats available.

  • The Business Plus Plan and Enterprise Plan Workspaces also have custom roles and custom permissions available.

• Workspace owners, admins can invite guests to specific items in a Workspace.

• Workspace members can invite guests to access specific items with the same or lesser permissions.
