Security
Messages administration requires that the Bot user has the ‘Change server settings’ authority.
Viewing and editing source of protected messages requires that the Bot user has the ‘Advanced admin’ authority.
- The source code of messages set with protection mode 2 may only be viewed or edited by the original creator of that message.
