Source notes citing this source

• The status of a batch policy assignment is read with Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation -OperationId, and per-user errors are in its UserState property. in context
• Group policy assignments propagate only to direct members of the group, not to members of nested groups. in context
• A policy assigned directly to a user takes precedence over any group-assigned policy of the same type; among groups, the assignment with the highest ranking (lowest number, 1 is highest) wins; with neither, the Global (Org-wide default) policy applies. in context
• Group policy assignment is recommended for groups of up to 50,000 users, and propagation to members runs as a background operation whose duration depends on group size. in context
• Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment -PolicyType <type>, expanding PolicySource, shows whether a user's policy is Direct or inherited from a Group, which explains why a group assignment is not taking effect. in context
