Guest users

You can add users who should have restricted access to your organization as guests. For example, this may be a good choice for contractors or customers invited to a company's Zulip chat.

Guest users can:

• View and send messages in streams they have been added to, including viewing message history in the same way as other stream subscribers.

Guest users cannot:

• See private or public streams, unless they have been specifically added to the stream.
• Create new streams or user groups.
• Add or manage bots.
• Add custom emoji.
• Invite users to join the organization.

You can also configure other permissions for guest users, such as whether they can:

• Move or edit messages.
• Notify a large number of users with a wildcard mention.

Zulip Cloud plans have special discounted pricing for guest users.
