Official demonstration: Opening a bot's profile, selecting 'Add to Group or Channel', and toggling specific administrative permissions.
Granular Permissions
Grant only necessary privileges—such as deleting messages or banning spammers—without exposing channel ownership.
1-Tap Admin Onboarding
Bots can now be promoted directly from their profile without requiring prior member invitation and manual promotion.
Bot Security Guardrails
Bots can never appoint other admins or transfer group ownership, ensuring creator privileges remain strictly insulated.

ADMIN RIGHTS ARCHITECTURE
Configuring Bot Permissions for Maximum Security
When delegating administration rights to automated bots, follow the principle of least privilege:
delete_sweep
Delete Messages: Essential for anti-spam bots (e.g., Combot, Rose) to wipe malicious links, phishing attempts, and banned keywords immediately upon detection.
person_off
Ban Users: Enables automated moderation scripts to temporarily kick or permanently blacklist malicious raid accounts.
campaign
Post Messages (Channels): Required for broadcast bots that publish scheduled announcements, RSS news digests, or webhook feeds into public channels.
