Gain access for any user to use a bot

[bekvizz]

Hello!

I tried to share the bot with my friends, but it doesn't work for them. Logs saying, "WARN unauthorized access attempt user_id=...". How can I give access without explicitly typing every telegram ID of people I want to give it access to? Sorry for that type of communication, and thanks for your attention!

Thank you for your feedback and for trying to share the bot with your friends.

You are correct that this is currently not possible due to the access control strategy in place. The bot must be aware of the complete set of authorized sessions, which requires explicitly specifying each user ID (or group ID). This limitation can make sharing the bot with others less convenient.

One potential workaround is to grant access to a specific group. Your friends could then interact with the bot within that group.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. I will consider how to address this limitation in a more flexible and elegant way in future updates. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention.
