+#### Free Guest users **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+In the **Ultimate** tier, users who are assigned the Guest role do not consume a seat.
+The user must not be assigned any other role, anywhere in the instance.
+
+- If your project is private or internal, a user with the Guest role has
+  [a set of permissions](../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions).
+- If your project is public, all users, including those with the Guest role
+  can access your project.
+
+NOTE:
+If a user creates a project, they are assigned the Maintainer or Owner role.
+To prevent a user from creating projects, as an administrator, you can mark the user
+as [external](../../user/permissions.md#external-users).

 ### Tips for managing users and subscription seats
 
 Managing the number of users against the number of subscription seats can be a challenge:

-## Free Guest users **(ULTIMATE)**
-
-When a user is given the Guest role on a project, group, or both, and holds no
-higher permission level on any other project or group on the GitLab instance,
-the user is considered a guest user by GitLab and does not consume a license seat.
-There is no other specific "guest" designation for newly created users.

-If the user is assigned a higher role on any projects or groups, the user
-takes a license seat. If a user creates a project, the user becomes a Maintainer
-on the project, resulting in the use of a license seat. Also, note that if your
-project is internal or private, Guest users have all the abilities that are
-mentioned in the [permissions table above](#project-members-permissions) (they
-are unable to browse the project's repository, for example).

-NOTE:
-To prevent a guest user from creating projects, as an administrator, you can edit the

-Beware though that even if a user is external, if they already have Reporter or
-higher permissions in any project or group, they are **not** counted as a
