How to add user to super group

[atabaki]

How can implement add members functionality in supergroups same as telegram desktop Suppose i,m not the creator of that supergroup. Using AddChatUserRequest leads to invalid_chat_id Using InviteToChannelRequest need admin privillages

But as u can test, in telegram desktop you can join to one supergroup and add members without admin permission What method must be used to achieve this functionality?

[Lonami]

You know those links which look like https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFFszQPyPEZ7wgxLtd (that's a non-existing example)? Well, the part after the joinchat/ is the hash of the group. You can use ImportChatInviteRequest to join to such chat.

[atabaki]

No Wee need to add another user not my own account RequestImportChatInvite is for adding me to one chat (superGroup) i need add you (for example) to super group with id and accessHash

[Lonami]

Then you're probably talking about AddChatUserRequest.

Edit: Yes, you're talking about that (just confirmed). Remember to use the documentation search, it's the same thing I do.

Edit 2: Okay then, my bad… I really should have read more carefully what you wrote. Still of use.

Thanks For your Replay But When u use "AddChatUserRequest" (as mentioned before) The "INVALID_CHAT_ID" Error Will occur because super groups are Channel Type and Therefor have Channel Id and Channel Access Hash When We pass Channel.Id as Chat_Id in AddChatUserRequest , "Invalid_chat_id" Error has raisen

[Lonami]

Make sure you're using get_input_peer:

from telethon.helpers import get_input_peer

You need to pass an InputPeerChat, not the Chat itself.

[atabaki]

in scheme.tl we have: messages.addChatUser#f9a0aa09 chat_id:int user_id:InputUser fwd_limit:int = Updates;

chat_id must be int

lastest layer: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/dev/Telegram/Resources/scheme.tl

[Lonami]

chat_id must be int

Er, yeah, sorry. Still need to use the get_input_peer for the user though.

[Lonami]

InviteToChannelRequest?

Edit: Okay, you did mention that already, but really, it's everything I can find.

it's for admin of super groups but how telegram desktop implement this

[Lonami]

Well, I cannot add users to a super group I'm not the admin of. The option doesn't even show. So Telegram Desktop does not implement that. You need permission, of course.

[atabaki]

No In Super Groups You can add your friends but it's not necessary to be admin try now

[Lonami]

In Super Groups You can add your friends but it's not necessary to be admin

No, I am in a super group and I can not add my friends, or contacts. I just can't. I don't have permission to do so. Also I'm using Telegram Desktop 1.1.7, which is the latest stable, and I just can't add users to a super group I don't have permission to!

Now, if you see the button to add users, then that's a different story, and you should have permission to use some request to add them.

[atabaki]

Try This link as example https://telegram.me/joinchat/CuMcGD2yXIohSMyJ1RbYHw

[Lonami]

Well, you have a link, then only the person you want to add can use the link to join. You can't just force them to join unless you have permission, as I said.

[atabaki]

try bot instead of user and add bot u can add easily in tdesktop but in api you can not

[atabaki]

Well, you have a link, then only the person you want to add can use the link to join

No need to be join from link. Check it

[Lonami]

try bot instead of user and add bot u can add easily in tdesktop

How can I add a bot to a channel if I only have the link? I either need to be the owner or, not sure if bots can decide to join the channel…

[Lonami]

No need to be join from link. Check it

I checked the link from Telegram Desktop, and yes, a super group shows. But how would that let me add someone else? I don't understand how you can add someone else with just a link and from Telegram Desktop. Not even if it's a bot, you'd need to tell the bot the link, right?

[atabaki]

you first join to group and then by click on group info you can see add members button then search bot name and add it

[Lonami]

I made a super group. I joined by a link. And yes I can add other users. But I can't remove them which is a bit of a non-sense… Anyway I'm not sure what request Telegram Desktop uses, but it has to exist, and it will be on the online documentation.

[Lonami]

Wait you mentioned you used InviteToChannelRequest and got an INVALID_CHAT_ID. Are you using what I mentioned above?

Edit: Something like:

from telethon.tl.functions.channels import InviteToChannelRequest
from telethon.helpers import get_input_peer

client.invoke(InviteToChannelRequest(
    get_input_peer(channel),
    [get_input_peer(user)]
))

[atabaki]

No when we used "InviteToChannelRequest" admin permission error showed not invalid_chat_Id

[atabaki]

Hi Lonami Some super groups allow to add without their permission and some not It seems that Chat Member must be added by addchatuserrequest and (supergroup)Channel member must be added by InviteToChannelRequest Thanks Again

[Lonami]

Okay thanks for telling us how you solved it and glad you clarified it how it works for yourself too.

[Frogbr]

I'd like to know how to add members in supergroup please could you explain me in a supergroup on the telegram, using python.

how can I add a bot to the channel? I am using node js. Tried using the channels.inviteToChannel method, but I get a USER_BOT error that says the bot can only be the channel administrator. This is what I need to implement. Any ideas how to do it? Thanks
