I have a question about how the permissions work within Gallery. Am I able to have users create a group and make access to that group available to specific users only. Possibly by invite. or can a user browse a list of others and select them from the list. Essentially what I am looking for is to create a group for my family members only. and then be able to allow and or deny access to albums on a user to user basis. Possible?

Install it and try it out. You have complete control over permissions.

-Create Groups and add users to them
-Assign permissions to users, groups, or everyone

If you have access to two side by side computers, as I do, you can do what I did. I make changes on one computer using the admin or other user account to see how it affected the account logged in on the other computer.

Clumsy I agree but effective. I now have a good understanding of how the permissions work and I like it.

Good work guys... I will be donating some moola this week and will continue to send you moola as time goes on.

Another trick is turning off cookies in your browser and having two separate windows, one logged in as admin and one logged in as a user.
