How to Assign and Promote Admin User Roles in Telegram Groups

Telegram groups are a great way to communicate and collaborate with large numbers of people. Groups can have up to 200,000 members, making them useful for communities, organizations, classes, and more.

To manage a Telegram group effectively, especially a large one, it’s important to assign admin roles. Admins have special privileges to help moderate the group, like adding and removing members, changing group info, and pinning messages.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to assign admin roles in your Telegram groups:

Adding the First Admin

When you create a new Telegram group, you automatically become the top admin or creator. As the creator, you can add the first admin:

  • Open your Telegram app and go to your group
  • Tap on the group’s name or profile photo to open its profile
  • Tap Edit (pencil icon) > Add Admins
  • Select the member you want to make an admin
  • Tap Set Admin Rights to select permissions
  • Enable/disable permissions and tap OK

The member you selected now has an admin badge and can help manage the group based on the rights you assigned.

Promoting Other Admins

Only creators of groups can directly turn members into admins. But creators can give admin promotion rights to other admins:

  • Follow same steps to open your group’s admin settings
  • Below your own admin rights, toggle Add Admins to the ON position
  • The admins you select can now also add other admins

So once you assign admin promotion rights, your admins can help invite and manage other admins.

Setting Admin Permissions

Not all admins need the same permissions. When adding a new admin, you can customize their rights:

Common Admin Permissions

  • Change group info: Edit group name, photo, description
  • Delete messages: Remove inappropriate messages
  • Ban users: Kick or ban rule-breaking members
  • Invite users: Approve/deny join requests and invite new members
  • Pin messages: Highlight important info at the top of chat
  • Post messages: Send messages in a one-way Announcements channel
  • Edit messages: Change or delete existing messages
  • Manage voice chats: Host and manage group voice chats

Enable or disable each permission based on what each admin should be allowed to do.

Setting Special Permissions

In large groups, you may want to assign special roles like Chat Owner, Manager, Moderator or Helper.

Instead of standard permissions, you can set custom admin titles and rights for each role:

  • Follow same steps to add a new admin
  • Tap Custom Title to set a role name like “Manager”
  • Below, customize special rights for this role
  • Tap OK when finished

You now have admins with defined responsibilities based on their custom roles!

Tips for Managing Admins

Here are some tips for effectively utilizing admins:

  • Start small – Don’t assign admin rights to new members. Wait until they are active and familiar with group rules.
  • Assign roles – Consider giving “Manager” and “Moderator” roles to trusted members instead of full admin rights.
  • Review regularly – Check who has admin rights and remove admins who are no longer active.
  • Limit promotion rights – Be careful about enabling “Add Admins” since this allows admins to appoint other admins.
  • Announce new admins – Let group members know when new admins join or when roles change.

Carefully managing your Telegram group admins will ensure your community stays active, engaging, and positive!
