A Polarity group is a collection of users that is set by a Polarity Admin. A Polarity group is typically comprised of users that have a specific role.

Polarity users can set permissions on channels and integrations to restrict access to specific groups and users.

Disabled users do not count against your license count.

Managing Groups

Polarity admins can set access controls over channels and integrations by creating a user group then add users to those groups.

The groups can then be assigned to a channel or integration. Individual users can also be granted access to channels or integrations.
