TL;DR In the new model, is it possible to have people outside your organization edit sheets without having to pay for them (or do some kind of weird change in permissions and re-share every 3 months)?
We are trying to understand what the new user subscription model means for us. We are a small consulting organization that works with school districts. Essentially, we've created a dashboard that our partners use to monitor their strategic plans. Right now, we only give them one license for the "power user" who needs to make revisions to dashboards etc., but the remainder (roughly 25ish people) of their users are just free collaborators. They need to be able to view and edit data on established sheets (to enter new metrics, mark milestones complete, etc.). In the new model - will we need to pay for a license for every one of those people? Or is it possible to share it with them as an external member (but my understanding is that we will have to re-share each item with them every 3 months at the end of the reconciliation period to avoid having them switch over to a paid user)? Honestly, our account manager has not been very helpful and has confused me more so I'm looking for better guidance here.
