How can I share work with guests?

If you want to share an item in Paymo with a guest, always look for the Share box with sharing settings. The orange eye icon will then show you the number of guests the item has been shared with.

How to share a project with a guest

You can also invite people who are not part of Paymo yet, then set them up as guests.

How to share a project with new users

NOTE: Guests DON'T have access to sensitive data like the Time Worked, Unbilled AR, and Project Timesheet areas. The Files area (of the project) will remain designated only to you and your team, so you can collaborate in a shared, private space.

You will still be able to collaborate with guests in a limited context. Meaning they will have access to the files inside a task and task comment, as well as those within discussions.

How to share a task with a guest

To share a task with a guest, open the Full Task Details → Click on the menu icon → Visible to Guests and our Team.

This will allow all guests that you’ve shared the project with to view the task, comment on it, as well as access the files attached to the task and task comments.

You’ll also notice that shared tasks will have an orange line displayed in front of them.

The permalink is now available under this area functioning as anonymous access – useful in case you want to share the item with a person who you don’t necessarily want to invite in as a guest user.

NOTE: If you share an invoice or estimate with a guest user, the "seen" status will show up only when the person has clicked on the permalink shared with them.
