*Note:* \
*1. BotBasher only supports Private groups and channels*\
*2. BotBasher will refuse to manage the groups or channels already having any unauthenticated users.* To manage groups/channels with unauthenticated users, use **Force Manage** (this will remove all unauthenticated users)
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### **Add**** ****`humanode_botbasher_alpha_bot`**** ****as an Admin**
* Start a private chat with `humanode_botbasher_alpha_bot`
* Type `/admin` to open the admin menu and choose '**Admin a group'** or '**Admin a channel'** as needed
* Select the group or channel that you want the bot to manage
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set up Bot Management
* Select **‘Manage’** to allow the bot to oversee your group/channel
* You’ll receive a confirmation message once the bot is managing the group/channel
Follow Step 4 for setting up groups only. If you are setting up a channel directly skip to Step 5.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Correct Group Settings
* Use the new **Correct Settings** button in the bot menu to fix group settings.\
* This will disable direct user invites by participants
*Note: For already created groups, If the group settings are not correct, the bot will stop managing the group.*
The bot is now successfully set up, all you need is to get a custom invite link to invite people
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Generate a Custom Invite Link
* In the admin menu, select **‘Get Invite Link’**
* The bot will create a custom invite link for your group/channel
* Share this link with humans you want to add to your group/channel
