Since some of the early release of Gallery, Gallery has supported multiple
users. This allows administrators to give individual and separate users
different permissions, based on the administrator's wishes. Admins can
give each user his or her own album, or allow certain users to perform certain
operations on a certain set of albums.
</p><p>
Managing users in Gallery is extremely simple. When you are logged in as
an administrator, simply click "[manage users]" on the main
Gallery screen. Here you can add new users, edit existing users, and delete
users.
</p><p>
Once you have created some users, you can give the users permissions. If you'd
like to give a certain user a certain permission on an album, simply click on
"[permissions]" by an album (if it's a top level album), navigate into the
album and click "[permissions]" (sub-album or top level album), or select
"Permissions" from the drop down box underneath an album (sub-album only).
This will bring up a permissions dialog, which you can give certain users
permissions for the album.
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Gallery's permissions are <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> inherited. This means
that a parent album's permissions are not taken into account when Gallery
decides whether a user has access to an album. This is different, for
instance, than the Unix permission system, which is inherited.
</p></div><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Album Owner -- The album owner has all the permissions an administrator has
for that album. The album owner can add and edit everything about the album,
as well as edit the permissions for the album.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can see the album -- Self-explanatory. Anyone in this box can
see the album and navigate through it.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can change album text -- Users who can change captions under images,
the album description, the album title, and an item's custom fields.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can add photos -- Self-explanatory. Anyone in this box can add photos
to the album.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can modify photos -- Users who can move the album (i.e. position),
rename the album, reset the album's click counter, edit thumbnails, rotate/flip
photos, change the album highlight, move photos (i.e. position), and hide
photos.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can delete photos -- Self-explanatory. Anyone in this box can
delete photos.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can create sub albums -- Self-explanatory. Anyone in this box can
create sub albums within the album.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can view full (original) images -- Anyone in this box can view the
full image (<span class="emphasis"><em>not the resized image</em></span>. Anyone who can see
the album [see above] can see the thumbnail and resized version of the image).
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can add comments -- Self-explanatory. Anyone in this box can add
comments to gallery.
</p></li><li><p>
Users who can view comments -- Self-explanatory. Anyone is this box can view
comments made by other users. This includes the ability to search for images
by comments.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
Also included in the Gallery permissions system, there are 3 psuedo-users that
represent groups of users.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
EVERYBODY -- Represent every user, logged in or not
</p></li><li><p>
LOGGEDIN -- Represents every logged in user
</p></li><li><p>
NOBODY -- Excludes all users, logged in or not
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Even if certain permissions are set to NOBODY, administrators and album
owners will still have access to these functions
