I’m using import { useGroupChannelContext } from ‘@sendbird/uikit-react/GroupChannel/context’

await channelState.currentChannel?.updateUserMessage(  
msg.messageId,  
{  
customType,  
},  
)

I’m modifying the customType of the message like this. When modifying the other party’s message, the following error occurs.  
Is there a solution?

SendbirdError: Not an owner.
