Common Challenges in Guest User Management

Managing guest users in project management tools like Linear can be challenging and costly. For tech agencies that rely heavily on these tools, effective guest user management is essential for smooth operations and collaboration.

1. High Costs

Many project management tools, including Linear, charge extra for guest accounts, which can quickly add up. For example, Linear costs $15 per user per month.

2. Limited Functionality

Guest users often face restricted access and functionality, which hampers effective collaboration and engagement.

3. Overwhelming experience

Guest users might be overwhelmed by too many features and struggle to find the updates they need.

4. Complex User Management

Managing permissions and access for multiple guest users can be time-consuming. How many times have you forgotten to remove a guest user? 🤣
