Error with code 400: CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED

Description and reason:
This requires chat admin rights in the specified chat (for example, to post a message in a channel that is not yours), or uses invalid permissions for the channel or group.

Solution:

If you are working with your account and your group (public), give your account administrator rights in this group!


Detailed description:

The "CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED" error in Telegram occurs when using applications that interact with the Telegram API, such as message automation or group/channel management programs. This error indicates that the current user does not have admin rights in the specified chat or channel, which are required to perform certain actions.

The main cause of this error is that admin rights are required to execute a command, such as sending a message to a channel that you do not own or performing an action in a group. The Telegram API strictly enforces permissions for actions in groups and channels, and if the user does not have the necessary rights, the "CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED" error will appear. This can also happen if a bot or program attempts to perform an action that requires additional permissions not granted.

To resolve the error, follow these steps:

Step 1: If you are working with your own account and your own group or channel, ensure that your account has been granted admin rights. You can do this through the group or channel settings by assigning the necessary permissions to your account.

Step 2: If you are trying to send a message to a channel or group that you do not own, make sure you have the required permissions from the group or channel owners. Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the desired action.

The "CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED" error is directly related to the restrictions of the Telegram API, which controls access to group and channel management. Ensure that your account has all necessary permissions to avoid this error in the future.
