# Create a Guest User

### **Overview**

Guest Users are ideal for collaborating with external team members while maintaining domain security. There are a couple methods for adding guest users, depending on the circumstance for their invitation.

***

### **Method 1: Inviting a Guest User to a Group or Project**

To invite a guest user to a group or project, start by navigating to the desired group or project and clicking the **Group Tools** dropdown menu.

### **How to Convert a Guest User to a Network User**

Converting from a guest to a network user will give this user full user portal access to MangoApps. All the data posted by this guest user will continue to be accessible.&#x20;

To convert a guest user, open the **Admin Portal** and navigate to **Manage Users** under the **Users** dropdown menu.

Locate and select the guest user account.&#x20;

From the **Admin Tools** dropdown menu, select **Convert to Network User**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Once a user has been converted from a guest user to a network user they **CANNOT** be converted back. The user must be deleted from the domain, then re-added as a new guest user.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Conversion of a guest user into a network user may affect your domain's subscription price. Please contact your **Account Management Team** for more information on how guest conversions will affect your subscription.
