What is Feature Gating and How Does it Relate to Me?
Feature gating is the system that controls which features are available to a user based on which solvers are enabled.
In simple terms:
It decides what you can see and do in the product
How it works
Feature gating uses the activation of solvers to control:
- Functionality → what actions are possible
- UI (User Interface) visibility → what buttons, menus, and pages you see
- System behavior → whether things like alerts or emails run
- Access → whether you can open certain pages (even via URL)
What happens when a feature is ''Gated''?
When a feature is gated, it means it is intentionally unavailable because the required solver is not enabled. Meaning:
- The feature is not usable (some actions are not possible)
- The UI is hidden (button or menu's are not available)
- The logic is stopped (automations wont run)
