Restrictions on creating guest users

[IT – Yutaka SHIBATA _Front-IA_]

If you try to add more guest users to Confluence than the allowed limit, does the system have a built-in safeguard to prevent it?

Hey there @IT – Yutaka SHIBATA _Front-IA_ ,

Originally the Guests feature did not enforce a limit despite the clear 5 Guests per paid user guidance.

After some recent changes, a safeguard is now in place which also alerts Admins when Guests are over 90% quota and suggesting a few solutions such as:

• increasing paid users
• removing Guests
• converting Guests to regular users

Hope this helps! =]

Hello @IT – Yutaka SHIBATA _Front-IA_ ,

Good Day, Welcome to Atlassian Community

Found this in one of the articles,

Guests are free of charge (up to 5 guests per paid user). Total number of users (paid + guests) can't exceed the current Confluence site.

As, it says total paid + free can't exceed current confluence site limit, so there should be a safeguard.
