Supergroups 10,000: Admin Tools & More
Admin Rights
You can now add admins with specific sets of privileges to help you run your community. Choose who among your trusted admins will be able to add new users, manage messages, block members, edit group info, or even add new admins.

Partial Bans
Admins who don’t want to completely ban members from their supergroups can now partially restrict their rights in order to stop behavior that's causing problems. You can put nasty users into read-only mode or maybe stop them from sending stickers or media for a certain period of time. Now you can do all of this with absolute precision:
Partial bans
Even robots can get in on the fun. With
Bot API version 3.1, you can use admin bots to automatically impose temporary or permanent bans based on member actions. Check out

Recent Admin Actions
When multiple admins are working with one group, it’s easy to get confused about which admin did what and when (or which admin bot has gone Skynet on your members). That’s why we've added a “Recent Actions” section to the admins page. This section stores a log of all service actions taken in the group in the last 48 hours and is visible to admins only.

Precise filters
Recent actions in supergroups also show messages that were deleted in the last 48 hours and the original versions of edited messages for the same period, so nasty behavior like self-deleted spam will no longer help anyone escape the admins’ wrath.
