This guide walks you through the key group admins' features and shows you how to effectively manage your channel.
Quick Overview
As a group admin, Cornix allows you to:
Invite new users to your group
Manage subscription expiration dates
Monitor unauthorized access
Assign licenses to your members
And more…
To get to your Users Management page, navigate to your Cornix Dashboard (web or app)> on the top right bar, choose "Admin Interface" > go to "Users Management" page.
At the top of each page on the Admin Interface, you can choose the channel that you want to review or edit configurations for.
Users Tab
Under the user's tab, you'll get an overview of all the channel users.
This is the main page where you will be able to manage your users, remove users from the group, change users' expiration dates, approve users, and assign Cornix Licenses to your users.
Note: currently, only Telegram channels can be managed via the Admin Interface. Discord channels are not yet supported for this feature.
Available actions on the Users tab:
View user list by filters:
Use the filters to view your users by:
Status (Any status, banned, expired, inactive, pending, active, unauthorized)
Expiration Time (Any expiration, next hour/day/week/month, lifetime, not set)
License Status (Any status, expired, expires soon, active)
Hide Bots toggle - choose if you want to include bots in your users view or not.
Modify expiration date:
To modify a user's expiration date, click on the value in the 'Group Expiration' column and proceed to select a new date, then click 'Save'.
Setting an expiration date for users will allow you to identify expired users. In addition, under the "Configuration" tab, you'll have the option to automatically kick users with expired subscriptions. More on that later.
Change user's status:
Click the '...' next to each user line, to change the user's status or start a chat with them on telegram.
The actions you see might change depending on the current status of the user.
Note:
When changing a status from 'Unauthorized' to 'Authorized', you can set an expiration date for the user's subscription, and from that moment all regular rules and automations will apply on this user.
*User Status Overview
The status column will show you the current user status. Here's a short explanation about each status:
Banned - Will be assigned to any user that you banned manually via the Cornix dashboard. For the status to be reflected correctly, make sure to ban the user via the Cornix interface instead of banning them on Telegram.
Expired (Banned) - When your configuration is set to automatically kick users with expired subscriptions, all expired users who were kicked will get this status.
Expired (In Group) - Users whose subscription expired but are still in the group, usually because the configuration is not set to kick them automatically.
Inactive - Authorized users who left the channel. Therefore they appear as inactive.
Pending - Approved users who are not in the group (including users who received an invitation to join the group but did not join yet). When pending users join the channel, their status will change to Active.
Active - Active, authorized users in the channel.
Unauthorized - Users who joined the channel without receiving an Cornix generated invitation (possibly joined directly via Telegram).
Invitations Tab
Invite Users
Using Cornix invitations, you will be able to invite users to your channel and assign them a specific subscription durations. The invitations section will allow you to see a list of all the channel invitations and their status!
If the invitation was accepted at least once, clicking the invitation table row will expand it and show additional information about which user accepted the invitation.
Click the '...' next to each invitation, to see more invitation actions.
Copy link - Copy the invitation's link to send it to more users.
Edit - Edit the invitation's number of users and subscription duration.
Deactivate - Deactivating an invitation will prevent users from being able to accept it. Delete - If the invitation was not yet accepted, you will have the option to delete it completely.
How to Create an Invitation
Click the "+Invite Users" button on the top right corner of the screen, to open the "Create Invitation" page.
To change the invitation's parameters, move the slider or click on the input field to insert a custom value.
When the invitation is limited to 1 user only, you will also be able to provide a Telegram Username or Telegram ID for the invitation. This will limit the invitation so it can only be accepted by a specific user.
After clicking "Create", you'll get an overview of the invitation details.
Copy the invitation link and send it to your users.
Once a user clicks the invitation link, they will be redirected to a chat with the Cornix group's bot, where they will get a link to join your Telegram channel.
Important Note: An invitation link does not replace a referral link when inviting a new user to Cornix.
If the user you’re sharing the invitation link with is not yet registered to Cornix, make sure to also share your referral link, so you can receive your referral commission.
The referral link can be used before or after using the channel's invitation link.
