This guide documents the classic version of the AWS Wickr administration console, released before March 13, 2025. For documentation on the new AWS Wickr administration console, see [ Administration Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wickr/latest/adminguide/what-is-wickr.html).

# Guest users in AWS Wickr network
Guest users

The Wickr guest user feature allows individual guest users to sign in to the Wickr client and collaborate with Wickr network users. Wickr administrators can enable or disable guest users for their Wickr networks in the **Security Group** page of the Wickr admin console.

After the feature is enabled, guest users invited to your Wickr network can interact with users in your Wickr network. A fee will be applied to your AWS account for the guest user feature. For more information about pricing for the guest user feature, see [Wickr pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/wickr/pricing/) page under **Pricing** Add-ons.
