Confused about "Guest Users"?
Let us know how we can improve our documentation:
LAST EDIT Sep 16 2021
Guest sessions can be created client-side and do not require any server-side authentication. Support and livestreams are common use cases for guests users because really often you want a visitor to be able to use chat on your application without (or before) they have a regular user account.
Guest users are not available to application using multi-tenancy (teams).
Unlike anonymous users, guest users are counted towards your MAU usage.
Guest users have a limited set of permissions. You can read more about how to configure permissions here. You can create a guest user session by using setGuestUser instead of connectUser.
The user object schema is the same as the one described in the Setting the user portion of the docs.
