Preventing drivers from hearing each other in a channel

Admins can create channel User Roles to allow drivers to talk to dispatchers without disturbing other drivers in the channel.

  1. From the Management Console, select Channels from the taskbar
  2. Select the channel where you want to create the User Roles. In our example, the "Dispatch Channel" is selected

  10. On the Channel Details page, in the Roles section, edit the "Dispatcher" role to include both Dispatcher and Driver User Roles

  11. The completed setup on the Channel Details page will show all drivers having the "Driver" User Role, who can only speak to the "Dispatch" User Role and not other "Drivers". Dispatchers will have the "Dispatch" User Role, who can speak to both "Drivers" and "Dispatchers" on the channel.
