I am wondering what benefits there are of being a member vs guest that you guys personally found useful? I don’t want to hold back my team by leaning too much on guests licenses. But also if I can use guest users for most of our organization and and just have a few users create boards I am thinking why not. 

Why do people in your organization opt to become members after being guest users and is being a guest user usually enough?

@Remo - One consideration when it comes to team Member vs. Guest is there are a number of limitations for Guests, including:

  • cannot start voting sessions
  • will not have access to any installed apps that require authorization
  • cannot use Smart Meetings (or any other features that required the user to be a board owner/co-owner) -- on that note, they cannot be assigned the co-owner role
  • no access to the board content settings
  • no access to protected lock
  • cannot access the board Sharing settings

Those are just a few - a full list can be seen here:

In summary, if the users are just being expected to contribute on boards, being Guests could work. Even in limited scenarios, facilitating on these boards as Guests would work as long as none of the features noted above are required.
