The limitations of Paratext for guest users are grouped below by areas of Paratext use.

When you read each bullet, start with the words: “Guest users CANNOT”

Project registration
• Register a project.
• Be registered users.

Send/Receive
• Send/Receive a project to the internet.
• Restore projects after a disk failure.

Resources
• Access, download, or install resources that are unavailable to the administrator who created the guest registration.

Furthermore, the Paratext Registry does not keep track of guest user information (such as registration codes or the role a guest user has on a project).

Guest user registrations are intended to be temporary - until the administrator has internet access and can register those users.
Guest users have limited functionality (as described above) to encourage registration at the administrator’s earliest convenience.
If a project is not registered, it has further limitations listed in Why should I register my project?
