Would like to add guest users in Shifts as they work alongside other team members.

Due to other priorities, this has been moved to the backlog. We will update you as we evaluate in the future.

Covid 19 has resulted in a reduction of permanent full time staff across many industries and an increase in the labour force obtaining casual rostered roles. This functionality would help businesses trying to support the community through gainful employment in whichever capacity they can currently offer. By not having this feature open to guests, businesses would find the process of rostering too time consuming in an already overburdened and taxing time and might possibly prevent the hire of people. This is an important feature to assist businesses and individuals alike contributing to the nations economic recovery.

Allowing guest access to shifts would be a huge support for our organization. Many of our guests work in collaboration with our staff and it is crucial that all members of a team can see the availability and access to this app. We are now having to create a redundant system for staff and guests that makes the processes clunky and time-consuming.

Please put guests access to Shifts on the front burner. As many, many others have said, this feature is essential to deployment. As a GCC customer we've already been waiting for Shifts for years, only to have deployment yet again derailed by the lack of guest access.

We need this functionality. As it is essential for first line workers

yes, this would be great. We are a nonprofit and this is exactly what is needed for volunteers and 1099 workers.
right now, we must give a full account only for the purpose of displaying them on a shift calendar and allowing them to select open shifts.

Useless without enabling it for guests. As a step solution, guest to be included in the schedule, while not being able to use the app. They may receive a manual pdf copy of the schedule.

I have front line contractors but without guest access this app is useless to me. Like everyone else having guest be able to be on shifts will help us all out. This needs to be a priority

I would really like to add guests to shifts because I have a high turnover of interns, which don't have company emailaddresses. They stay for only a few months and go. But I do need to schedule them!

Several people in my business (small group of hotels) have spent the last couple of weeks trialling SHIFTS within Microsoft Teams with the view of rolling it out once our sites re-open post-lockdown, only to now find out that you can't add external (guest) users to groups in Shifts?? Microsoft promote the Shifts app as being built for front-line staff and specifically give "hotels" as an example. Are they expecting hotels to give all staff in a hotel (bus boys, kitchen porters, chambermaids, etc) a company email address so that they can be included in Shifts?? If so we'll be looking at other solutions and reverting to Excel spreadsheets in the meantime.

Can't use it until guest accounts are allowed. As everyone else here, issues is most frontline workers does not have AD accounts or company email addresses. It will be hard to use this.

It's hard to understand why small things are taking such a long time to resolve. This discussion has been going for over a year now.

Shifts is pretty much useless without Guest access! Please make this a priority!

How is Shifts not open to guest users, given that front-line shift workers are the employees least likely to to have a company email address???
This is utterly obuse, and renders the software almost useless.
