Guest

Guests vs. members

Guests are individuals outside of your organization or teammates who don't need all the benefits of Tape. You invite them to join specific apps or records. Some examples of guests:

  • Trainees: who are helping you temporarily

  • Clients: to get releases on specific records

  • Consultants: external experts who specialize in a particular area to work together in one app.

Here's what makes the Tape experience different for guests:

  • Access: guests have to be always be invited of the specific apps or records. Guest can't be given workspace or organization-wide access.

  • Settings: guests are unable to change organization settings or billing information

  • Add members: guests cannot invite new members to join your organization

  • Workflow automations: guests cannot access the automation center

  • Groups: guests cannot be added to groups
