Abstract: A method and console are provided that assign a user device access to a remote service, such as a talk group. The user device is provided access to communications history associated with the remote service. At some point access to the remote service for the user device is revoked, but access to the communications history associated with the remote service is not revoked at this time. At a later time, access to the communications history associated with the remote service from the user device is revoked.

Abstract: A method and console are provided that create an explicit talk group list for a user device, the explicit talk group list is created by the user device and includes a plurality of first talk groups. A privileged user device, such as a console, creates an implicit talk group list for the user device. The implicit talk group list includes a plurality of second talk groups. The explicit talk group is combined with the implicit talk group list to form a scan list. If the number of talk groups in the scan list exceeds a predetermined threshold, enough talk groups are removed from the scan list until the number of talk groups in the talk group equals the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method and apparatus providing improved audio prioritization is provided. A public safety (PS) application programming interface (API) for an open source operating system provides a public safety extension to an audio management platform by providing configurable and updatable audio priority operation based on call type, call mode, and/or call characteristics.
