Visitors, guests and members

In Miro there are several ways you can share your content. The first step is to decide how frequently and to what extent you wish to collaborate, so you can invite users with the right role type. 

Differences between roles

Visitors are one-time Miro users who are not part of a team or organization. Visitors are perfect for quick sharing, instant collaboration or a one-off brainstorm session. Visitors can only access public boards shared with them via a link. Visitors don't have to be registered with Miro and can access public boards without a Miro account. Any plan can invite visitors.

Guests are occasional Miro users but are also not part of a team or organization. Guests are perfect for infrequent collaboration on a private board(s). You can give access to a registered user and revoke their access at any moment. This option is only available on paid plans. 

Members are full team participants for ongoing collaboration. Members can access all boards shared with them in a team. They have full access to the plan features and can create their own boards and content.
