Users can be Disabled by clicking on the Actions link for a particular User. This opens a modal where you can uncheck the Enabled checkbox.

Once a User has been Disabled, all of their active Polarity sessions will be automatically terminated.

Disabled Users do not count against your License count.

Managing Groups

A Polarity Group is a collection of Users that is set by a Polarity Administrator.  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.  Polarity Administrators 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.

See Channel and Integration Permissions for more information about setting permissions on Channels and Integrations.
