Thanks for opening this, but we'd appreciate a little more information. Could you update it with more details?

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chat model now defines UnitDispatch channels. Services provision and rename unit and incident-related channels. Permission checks include active unit crew and authorized department dispatchers. Client types and channel grouping expose the new channel types.

Changes

Chat dispatch channels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Channel contracts and client types
Core/Resgrid.Model/Chat/ChatChannel.cs, Core/Resgrid.Model/Chat/ChatEnums.cs, Core/Resgrid.Model/Services/IChatServices.cs, Web/Resgrid.Web.Services/Models/v4/Chat/ChatApiModels.cs, Web/Resgrid.Web/Areas/User/Apps/src/components/chat/*, Web/Resgrid.Web.Services/Resgrid.Web.Services.xml
The public chat model adds UnitDispatch = 11. The service contract adds EnsureUnitDispatchChannelAsync. API and client documentation now describe channel types 9–11.
Channel provisioning and naming
Core/Resgrid.Services/ChatChannelService.cs
The service provisions unit-dispatch channels, deduplicates them with DmKey, handles concurrent creation, and invalidates caches. Incident, command, and lane provisioning now resolves names, refreshes drifted names, and supports backfill updates.
Dispatch audience and access
Core/Resgrid.Services/ChatPermissionService.cs
Unit-dispatch audiences include active unit crew and authorized department dispatchers. Access uses department dispatch authorization or the owning unit derived from the channel.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 6ee2c

UnitDispatch channels can include users who are denied access, creating a concrete risk of unauthorized chat visibility. The audience must be restricted to the owning unit’s crew and dispatchers before this PR is merged.

196-216: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cache or batch unit access checks during cold channel-list builds.

CanUseDispatchAsync uses a 60-second cache. However, CanSendAsUnitAsync is uncached and directly loads the unit and active roles. When activeUnitId is set, each serial UnitDispatch check can repeat those repository calls. Cache or batch this data before the loop.

797-804: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve the dispatch-channel prefix the same way the lane path does.

EnsureCommandChannelAsync and EnsureLeadsChannelAsync pass command.Name, so they prefer the incident name. EnsureDispatchChannelAsync passes null, so ResolveIncidentPrefixAsync always falls back to call.Name.

If command renamed the incident, the dispatch channel is created as "{call.Name} Dispatch" while the sibling channels use "{command.Name} ...". The names stay divergent until EnsureIncidentChannelsAsync runs. Reuse the existing incident channel name, as ResolveLanePrefixAsync already does.

♻️ Proposed fix to reuse the incident channel name
 		public async Task<ChatChannel> EnsureDispatchChannelAsync(int departmentId, int callId, string incidentCommandId, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default(CancellationToken))
 		{
 			if (callId <= 0)
 				return null;
 
 			return await EnsureCommandScopedChannelCoreAsync(departmentId, callId, incidentCommandId,
-				ChatChannelType.IncidentDispatch, await ResolveIncidentPrefixAsync(callId, null), cancellationToken);
+				ChatChannelType.IncidentDispatch, await ResolveLanePrefixAsync(callId), cancellationToken);
 		}

Consider renaming ResolveLanePrefixAsync to ResolveIncidentChannelPrefixAsync, because it is no longer lane-specific.

221-227: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict the UnitDispatch audience to the owning unit and dispatchers.

AddExplicitMemberAudienceAsync also adds every non-removed, non-banned ChatParticipantType.User row at Lines [661-664]. A lazily-created user member row can therefore add a non-crew, non-dispatch user to the UnitDispatch audience, even though EvaluateAccessAsync denies that user.

For UnitDispatch, resolve the owning unit with GetUnitDispatchChannelUnitIdAsync and call AddUnitCrewAsync for that unit. Do not use the generic explicit-member helper here.

Suggested fix
                case ChatChannelType.UnitDispatch:
-                   // The unit's member row resolves to its active crew; the desk side is every dispatcher.
-                   await AddExplicitMemberAudienceAsync(channel, userIds);
+                   // Resolve only the owning unit. Do not include user member rows.
+                   var owningUnitId = await GetUnitDispatchChannelUnitIdAsync(channel);
+                   if (owningUnitId.HasValue)
+                       await AddUnitCrewAsync(owningUnitId.Value, userIds);
                    foreach (var dispatcherId in await _dispatchAccessService.GetDispatchUserIdsAsync(channel.DepartmentId))
                        AddIfSet(userIds, dispatcherId);
                    break;
