I would work with her using Megan's suggestions. Put her on a leash and have her sit and stay while people go in and out the door. Also it may be good to have a certain command for when she gets to go out. Like say "Let's go out" when you are taking or letting her out (every time) that way she will know that if she doesn't hear this it isn't her turn to go out. However until you feel comfortable with her not going out a baby gate will keep her from sneaking out like everyone else said. Its also a good idea to teach her to walk out the door instead of bolting out. Keep her on a leash and have her walk out not run, praise her when she walks out and turn around and do it again if she runs. Also after you get these down go outside and teach her a command to go back inside when you tell her. Again put her on a leash and tell her to go to the door and take her up there if she doesn't go by herself. Remember plenty of praise is key.
I have a lab who will sit and wait inside his fence until you tell him he can come out (when the gate is opened) and then he walks out. Also if you tell him "in your pen" he'll head back that way, he isn't happy about it but he does it. So with patience it can be done. Trust me I'm not a dog trainer so if I can do it you can too.
