Any clue why when trying to add a read only seat that I’d get this error about reaching the limit for number of guests? If they are read only I thought they didn’t count against anything?

Interesting!  The docs don’t indicate anything about there being a read-only seat limit for Portals and so this should be fine.  I was pretty curious about this and so opened a support ticket, will let you know if I find out more!

Out of curiosity, do you still get that error if you try to invite people as read-only users to the Interface, i.e. not as a read-only Portal user?

Update: I opened a support ticket because I was pretty curious about this

They confirmed that there aren’t any limitations / caps for read-only Portal guests and suggested the following:

  1. Refresh my browser / clear my cache / try it again in incognito
  2. Provide them with the base ID where this issue is occurring so they can investigate
  3. Provide them with the number of read-only users already added to the portal

I’m not really sure why refreshing the page etc would help, and if there’re no caps on read-only Portal guests then the number of existing read-only guests shouldn’t matter either, but that’s what I’ve got back from support for now
