- user sends
/startto the bot - the bot can't find the user in the DB and says, "sorry, you don't have access, send /requestAccess and wait"
- user sends
/requestAccessto the bot - bot says "thank you, I notified the admins" and sends a message to the admins, initiating a conversation to choose whether to accept or reject the request
- admin accepts the request: user is created in the DB with the default permissions / admin rejects the request: nothing is done
- user receives a notification saying they have been granted/denied access to the bot
The access requests could also be deactivated. In that case, we stop at step 2 and the bot just says "sorry".
To simplify admins work, we could store the last 100 users who sent /start and didn't have access with their usernames and ids in a file, so an admin can just send /grantAccess username to the bot, which would pick the right ID in the file.
