Hi,

1st time user; I have set up G2 and everything seems to work.

The user/member/group settings have me somewhat confounded. What I'm trying to do is, at least in concept, simple:

- No-one should be able to see any images without logging in
- User "member" should be able to see all images, but not upload images or change anything else (including her own password)
- User "admin" should be able to do everything.

I've set up the admin during install, but I can't seem to figure out how to achieve the other goals.

Can some kind soul please guide me through the process?

Thanks

browse the root (top most) album > Edit Album > Edit Permissions > remove "Everyone"

Quote:

user "member" should be able to see all images

browse the root (top most) album > Edit Album > Edit Permissions > only grant "View Item/Resized Versions" or "all Versions to user "member"

Quote:

but not upload images or change anything else (including her own password)

Site Admin > Users > Edit User (by List) > select "member" > Options > check the box underneath "Lock user."

Quote:

User "admin" should be able to do everything.

again, browse the root (top most) album > Edit Album > Edit Permissions > grant user "admin" the "all access" permission

Thanks scaturan, for the very easy to follow instructions.

One last question (I hope!): How do I completely disable the registration link on the front page (shown before you log on)?

Site Admin > Plugins > uninstall the Registration plugin and you're good to go.
