Guest Users for Users without a Business Domain

Would it be possible to enable the use of the “Guest User” feature in Business Workspaces, not just Organizations? I want all the features in Business for my personal account, but I don’t have a domain name, so I’m forced to work in a Workspace vs create an Organization (requires a domain name and the only way to have Guest users).

Below is the conversation I had with someone in customer support about this:

You know you can buy one at hover.com for a few dollars a year?

Hi @Frank6, thanks for reaching out!

As mentioned by our Support team, it is not possible to have Guests within a Workspace. Guests are unique to Organizations.

In order to make use of the Guest feature, we would recommend adding a private domain to your Workspace and converting it to an Organization :slight_smile:

I did not know that! Cool tip!

The only thing I’d add here is why should I have to spend even a single dollar more? What’s the reasoning for having this limitation in Asana?

Should I just acquire the domain in addition to regular email (e.g. @gmail)? Or should I obtain the domain and its email address and sign up for Asana using that new email address?

You can a domain with an email redirect towards your gmail. And then you can sign up with asana using the new email: it will create an org. Then merge your two accounts.

Thank you for answering.
I need at least a domain (Domain Names | Buy Domains & Email At Hover.com) and an email for the domain (Domain Email | Buy An Email Address From Hover Today), right?
