Does adding Guests to an active group, which gives them full access, use up a license?

[Ms_ Hiller]

I want to add guest users to a group with full access. Will this use up a license?

[Trudy Claspill · Accepted solution]

Yes!

Guest users are a separate group from full access users. Users in the full access groups consume licenses. Users in the guest user group do not consume licenses.

If I invite a a user as a guest, and then add them to an existing team?  

[Trudy Claspill]

Yes.

If you invite a user as a Guest, they can be in only the Guest Users group and can be granted access to only one space at any given time.

If you add the user to a group that has product access, then that user will no longer be just a guest and they will consume a license.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying!

Hey @Ms_ Hiller, not sure if this is still a problem or not but have you considered using License Logic or Zylo? They integrate with your SaaS stack and can easily show you this type of info.
