Before you open Security Center
Security Center is the admin Mini App for VibeGuard group setup and safety review.
You need to be the group owner or an admin with the right access for the group you want to manage. VibeGuard is group-scoped, so each Telegram group keeps its own settings, feature flags, moderation state, recaps, profiles, AI usage, join queues, cases, and Mini App context.
That means changes in one group do not automatically change another group. If you manage several communities, always confirm you are viewing the correct group before changing rules or enforcement.
Step 1: Open Security Center from Telegram
Open VibeGuard in Telegram and use the Security Center button or Mini App entry point.
If the button does not appear, check the basics first: make sure VibeGuard is still in the group, you are an admin for that group, and the group has the relevant feature enabled. Security Center is meant for admin review, so member-only access may not show the same surfaces.
Once it opens, confirm the group name, admin status, enabled features, and any setup warnings at the top of the dashboard.
Step 2: Read the dashboard overview
The overview should tell admins what is happening without forcing them to read every command log.
Common cards include rule status, audit mode, spam filters, raid state, join queue count, open incidents, open moderation cases, command access warnings, AI usage status, and missing Telegram permissions.
Use the overview as the first check after setup, before a launch, after a raid, or anytime a moderator says, “Why did the bot do that?”
Step 3: Test rules before enforcement
Security Center should help admins test rules before turning on stronger actions.
Use rule testing or audit events to see what VibeGuard would catch for spam links, flood patterns, suspicious media, newcomer behavior, sender-chat abuse, join gate rules, and raid signals. Review several real examples before enabling delete, warn, mute, kick, ban, pause approvals, or case creation.
If a rule catches normal behavior, tune it while it is still in audit mode. A good rule should reduce cleanup work without punishing normal members.
Step 4: Review queues, incidents, and cases
Security Center is where admins should review the work that needs context.
Use Join Queue to approve, challenge, decline, or review newcomers when join gate is enabled. Use Incidents to understand raid states, join bursts, invite attacks, spam bursts, skipped actions, and recovery notes. Use Cases and Appeals to review serious moderation decisions, false positives, reports, and rollback options where technically possible.
The goal is not blind automation. The goal is faster action with a trail that moderators can understand later.
Step 5: Check command access, threat intel, and chat grids
Use Command Access to decide who can warn, mute, ban, purge, change rules, or manage safety settings. Access can depend on owner/admin status, VibeGuard rank, named users, topic scope, or grid scope where relevant.
Use Threat Intel to review local or grid-scoped risk signals, evidence, confidence, expiration, and appeal state. Use Chat Grids only for related groups that admins explicitly connect. Global actions should stay opt-in, logged, and reviewable.
If your team only runs one group, you can ignore chat-grid controls until you need them.
Step 6: Use diagnostics when something fails
Many failed actions are permission problems, not broken rules.
Diagnostics should show whether VibeGuard has the Telegram rights needed to delete messages, restrict members, ban users, manage join requests, or work with invite links. It should also show whether a feature is disabled, whether a rule is still audit-only, or whether an action was skipped.
Check diagnostics before changing rules. Missing rights are usually easier to fix than rewriting the setup.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: I cannot open Security Center. Fix: Confirm you are an admin, VibeGuard is in the group, and your Telegram client can open Mini App buttons.
Problem: The dashboard shows the wrong group. Fix: Return to Telegram, open Security Center from the correct group context, and confirm the group name before changing settings.
Problem: A rule is flagging messages but not deleting them. Fix: Check whether the rule is still in audit mode and whether VibeGuard has delete-message permission.
Problem: Join queue actions are failing. Fix: Confirm the group uses Telegram join requests and that VibeGuard has the relevant approval permissions.
Problem: A moderator cannot run a command. Fix: Check Command Access, Telegram admin rights, topic scope, and whether the command family is enabled for that group.
FAQ
What is Security Center?
Security Center is VibeGuard’s Telegram Mini App dashboard for admins. It helps review rules, audit events, join queues, raid incidents, moderation cases, threat intel, command access, chat grids, diagnostics, and group-level settings.
Who can use Security Center?
Security Center is designed for group admins and owners. Access should depend on Telegram context, group membership, and the admin or moderator rights required for each action.
Can I test rules before enforcement?
Yes. Start with audit mode or rule testing. Review what VibeGuard would catch before enabling stronger actions like deleting messages, muting members, banning users, or pausing approvals.
Why does Security Center show missing permissions?
Some actions require Telegram admin rights. Deleting messages needs delete rights. Muting or banning needs restriction rights. Join request workflows need approval permissions. Invite-link actions need the relevant invite-link rights.
Is Security Center free?
VibeGuard has a free forever version for every group. Each group member can also use up to 10 AI help/prompts for free, with paid expansion only when the group needs more AI attention, higher usage, advanced security, automation, or multi-group control.
Open Security Center, check your setup, and move from audit mode to enforcement only when your team trusts the rules.
