# Admin Permissions & Access Control

<figure><img src="/files/ME24WfEiDyrYiPq4g8pt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

### 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.

### 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.
