## Permissions

Poll answer access is controlled based on organization membership:

*   **View** — Users can view poll answers in threads they have access to
*   **Create** — Organization members (with Member, Admin, or Owner role) can submit answers. The `userId` is automatically set to the authenticated user
*   **Update** — Users can update their own answers only
*   **Delete** — Users can delete their own answers. The poll activity creator can delete any answers to their poll. Organization admins and owners can delete any poll answers

Each user can submit only one answer per poll. The `choicesPoints` field is an array of integers where each element represents points assigned to the corresponding poll choice. Poll answers can be used for decision making, scheduling, opinion gathering, and quick surveys.
