Hey! Is there some recommended way to assign groups to an Identity? I know it can be done through "Permissions", but for my current use case I think would probably be simpler to just add the groups directly to the identity

Hey,
I think using public_metadata is a viable alternative in that case: <https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/managing-users-identities-metadata>

```"metadata_public": {
      "group": {
        "type": "string",
        "title": "group"
      }```

Thanks for the info, really appreciated! :slightly_smiling_face:
