If you are invited to a guest space while you have your own Kintone license, you can link the guest account to your Kintone account.
After you link your accounts, you can use single sign-on to access the guest space you were invited to. Also, the inviter will no longer need to pay for your guest account.
After linking your accounts, you can use the features available under the guest space's subscription plan while inside the invited guest space.
