This plugin adds a dedicated chat system for users who have access to a site's administration dashboard. It is designed for authors, editors, and other team members who need to coordinate without using external messaging services.

• Dashboard Chat Integration: The chat interface appears directly within the administrative dashboard, allowing for communication while working on site content.
• Private Chat Rooms: Users can create and join private chat rooms for focused discussions or team-specific conversations.
• Local Data Storage: All chat messages and history are stored in the site's own database, keeping communications internal and controlled.
• Configurable History: Administrators can set how many days of chat history are retained in the database, managing storage requirements.
• Real-time Updates: The system checks for new messages at a configurable interval, providing timely notifications within the interface.
