The Difference Between Teammates and Guests
An explanation and breakdown of the different access levels for Teammates and Guests.
Overview
Assemble enables you to invite two types of users to your projects:
- Teammates: Paid users who have access to all of the features in your workspace
- Guests: Free users who can access a limited set of features within your projects, such as reviewing assets, leaving feedback and uploading files.
We recommend inviting your co-workers and consistent collaborators (i.e. "perma-lancers") as teammates for the best collaboration experience.
Short-term, external users such as clients or freelancers can be invited as guests so they can access your projects with limited capabilities.
Teammate vs. Guest Comparison
