# Admin Permissions & Access Control
Hubz access is controlled through your Telegram group’s **administrator permissions**.
Only administrators with permission to **change group information** can make updates to Hubz, including modifying access rules and gating configurations.
This ensures that control over Hubz remains aligned with your group’s existing administrative structure.
***
### How Access Is Controlled
Hubz uses Telegram’s native permission:
> **'Change Group Info'**
If an administrator has this permission enabled, they can:
* Access the Hubz app
* Modify access rules
* Update or change configurations
If this permission is disabled, they will not be able to make changes within Hubz.
***
### Grant or Remove Access
To control which admins can manage Hubz:
1. Open your **Telegram group**
2. Go to **Settings** → **Administrators**
3. Select the administrator you want to update
4. Toggle **Change Group Info**:
* **On** → Admin can manage Hubz
* **Off** → Admin cannot access Hubz controls
Changes take effect immediately.
***
### If the Option Is Locked or Greyed Out
{% hint style="warning" %}
### If the Option Is Locked or Greyed Out
In some cases, the **Change Group Info** option may be unavailable or greyed out.
This is due to group-level permissions.
To resolve:
1. Go to **Settings** → **Permissions**
2. Locate '**Change Chat Info'**
3. Ensure this setting is **disabled** for general members
Once disabled, you will be able to manage this permission at the administrator level.
{% endhint %}
***
### Important Notes
* Hubz does not manage permissions independently. It relies entirely on Telegram’s admin controls.
* Only grant access to trusted administrators.
* Any admin with this permission can modify access rules for your group.
***
### Summary
Access to Hubz is determined by a single Telegram permission:
> **Change Group Info**
Managing this setting allows you to control exactly who can configure and update access within your group.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://hubz-1.gitbook.io/hubznetwork/foundation/getting-started/admin-permissions-and-access-control.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
