Add more access rules if desired. If adding more than one rule, decide if you want to support “Match any”.

When Match any is selected, chat users only need to pass at least one rule to gain access to your telegram chat. An example for using Match Any— you have a Dao Dao for your NFT collection, and you want to invite members who stake their NFT OR members who just hold the NFT without staking. You can add two access rules and select Match Any to invite both groups of members.
