How to resolve Telegram API error . 403 CHAT_WRITE_FORBIDDEN You can't write in this chat

Basically I have a group(of which I am admin) in which I want to be able to add and kick-out user programmatically. I created a telegram app using my telegram account. I wanted to access the method channels.EditBanned. The group was created using same account that was used to create app. This one:

new Api.channels.EditBanned({
  channel: "Test_Channel",
  participant: "vishalkale151071",
  bannedRights: new Api.ChatBannedRights({
    untilDate: 43,
    viewMessages: 0,
    sendMessages: 1,
    sendMedia: true,
    sendStickers: true,
    sendGifs: false,
    sendGames: true,
    sendInline: true,
    sendPolls: true,
    changeInfo: true,
    inviteUsers: true,
    pinMessages: true,
  }),
})
);

But got error :

RPCError: 403: CHAT_WRITE_FORBIDDEN (caused by channels.EditBanned)

    to ban/kick someone you can use:

    new Api.channels.EditBanned({
      channel: new Api.InputChannel({
        channelId: <channel_id>,
        accessHash: BigInt(<hash>),
      }),
      participant: <user_id>,
      bannedRights: new Api.ChatBannedRights({
        untilDate: 43,
        viewMessages: true,
        sendMessages: true,
        sendMedia: true,
        sendStickers: true,
        sendGifs: true,
        sendGames: true,
        sendInline: true,
        sendPolls: true,
        changeInfo: true,
        inviteUsers: true,
        pinMessages: true,
      }),
    })

    to get the channel accessHash and id, you must store the result when you call the createChannel:

    const result = await client.invoke(
    new Api.channels.CreateChannel({
      title: "grupo-legal-2",
      about: "about test",
      broadcast: true,
      // megagroup: true,
      // forImport: true,
      geoPoint: new Api.InputGeoPoint({
        lat: -26.30444,
        long: -48.84556,
        accuracyRadius: 100,
      }),
      address: "address test",
    })
  );

  console.log(result);
  console.log(result.chats[0].id);
  console.log(result.chats[0].accessHash);

    Ok . Since I had a deadline for the project , I ended up achieving the delete functionality by creating a bot and invoking bot.banMember method . For this to work one need to add the bot to the telegram group with admin privileges . also I feel its much simpler this way . Apart from directly messaging users in telegram , you can pretty much do everything . –
