That\u2019s so wrong! Telegram allows the channel owners and admins to do a variety of things to manage their channel or group in the best way possible. However, many users have no clue what the <em>Telegram admin rights<\/em> are. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to prepare this article to <\/span><b>introduce all the features that Telegram admins can use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Normal users can only view messages (text, video, picture), react to posts, leave comments, and (if the admin allows) forward messages to others. As you may already know, users are the audience of the channel or group, so whatever the admins do is for them. The more users a channel or group has\u2014especially active ones\u2014the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>2. Owner<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>owner<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of a group or channel is the person who created it or was assigned to it as the owner. They have the highest level in the group\/channel and have full control over its setting. By full control, I mean they can delete or edit users\u2019 messages, add new admins or delete the old ones, and more.
