[SM - Iteration 1 - Documentation] Update Docs to Indicate Marking Guests as External Can Prevent Them From Moving into Paid Seat
Problem to solve
Currently, a Guest user can move themselves into a paid seat by creating a project in their personal namespace and adding themselves to a role higher than Guest on that project.
This means that admins have less visibility and control over whether or not a user takes up a paid seat.
