I intend to implement a telegram bot integration for my service. I have experience developing discord bots and I find telegram permission system pretty simplified. I have invited a bot to my group. It seems that if I remove the permission to send messages from all members my bot won’t be able to send messages.

I’ve seen a post that says, that in order to be able to send messages I need to make my bot admin. I’d rather prefer to add a write permission to my bot than make it an admin.

Is it really necessary to make the bot an admin?

Thanks.
