Admins-only mode
Limit automatic downloads to the group's administrators.
With Admins only on, the bot ignores links posted by regular members and reacts only to messages from the group's administrators.
When to use it
- Public or large groups where you want to control what gets auto-downloaded, without removing the bot for everyone.
- Groups run by a small team, where regular members can still discuss and share links, just without triggering a download for every one of them.
What happens to a member's link
Nothing — the message is left as posted, no reaction is added, and it does not appear in Statistics and logs as an error; it is simply not picked up.
Turning it on
Open the mini app, select the chat, and toggle Admins only in Settings. It takes effect immediately for new messages; anything already delivered is unaffected.
