I have setup Gallery 3 for our photography club and added 41 members. I've listed three of us as Admins and the others are just users. The admins can add albums but the users can't. How do I fix this issue? I've looked under permissions and the only thing I find is for the existing album that I created as an admin. I've searched this forum and can't seem to find the spot that has this answer. Jim Pearson |

Edit permissions for the album you want the user to add items. Each album can have their own permissions. You might want to consider creating a group and giveing the group permissions.

Actually I want to allow each user to create and manage their own albums. I could do this with Gallery2, is it not possible with Gallery3? Will a administrator have to create the albums and then share them with each user?

Give the user permission to create items. Then they can create an album for themselves. Or automatically:

http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:user_chroot

Still not doing what I need... I've added the two modules, but they still don't allow each user that's not a admin create and maintain their own albums, unless I'm missing something.

Give the user permissions to add items in the album you want them to add items. They will be able to create albums if they have that permission.

How do I give permissions to just one user: ie: Flint Bone
rather than a global set of permissions that allow don't allow other members to post or delete, ect. things to his gallery and the same for the other 40+ members.

Permissions in G3 are not fine grained to allow for one user to add items and allowing others to add items as well (to the same album) as well as prevent that user from deleting other items. That would require a permissions check on each item. That is slow and complex. For G3 it is album centric.
Best is to create a separate album for each user or group and only give that user permission for that album.
There is the remove actions module that has helped others to remove some actions from users.
If you want fine grained and complex permissions then perhaps G2 is more to your liking.
Give Flint Bone permission to add items to the album you want them to add items to.
With 40+ users perhaps http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:permissions_dialog_usability might help as well.
I will let other community members chime in on how they have set up their galleries.

How do I do that for just one user?

Create a group and drag that user to the group.
Give the group permission to add to a specific album.

So I would be giving the same permissions to everyone in that group then? If so I think to accomplish what I want I'd have to have each member in their own group then.

Yes.
I know it is cumbersome.
