I'm having a better handle on what you're trying to do here. If the
users are trusted to jump among conferences, can't they also be
trusted to mute/unmute/hangup themselves? It seems to me that the main
thing you would want to do for some level of administrative control
would be to hangup the user's channel. Shouldn't the user channel stay
consistent regardless of where they go in the system?

And if you know that when they first dial in, shouldn't you be able to
find them later with a:
show channels
?

Yes. And true.
