Restrict other users from joining telegram bot

Suppose I created a telegram bot with the following info;

botname: name11
username: user22
bot_token: XXXX
chat_id: YYYYY

I want to restrict other users from joining. Only myself (username: myself) can join. Can this be done in telegram?

I am using python 3.7

There is no such settings or functionality in Telegram bots(yet). You can put a simple checking in the first line of your handlers and only respond to the authorized UserIDs.
