What is a network user?
Network Users count towards the number of paid users in your domain
Network Users have access to the public communications, projects, groups, wikis, etc.
Network Users are restricted by the “Private” and “Secret” permissions you set in your domain.
Network users can be invited to the domain from a sidebar widget, the “People” directory, and from the admin portal.
