So I was looking for an image gallery management software as a fun tool for my friends and myself.

We had the following ideas, and were wondering if they can be achieved with Gallery.

- some registered users can only view and comment and some registered users (admin) can only upload
- some registered users to be allowed to only view selected albums/categories and for others all/none
- comment exchange between two users (say adminA and userB) can only be seen by the group that userB belongs too and users from other groups cannot see the comment thread

Are these possible with the standard installation, or I need to do some custom development?

Looking forward.

Cheers!

Yes, using permissions you can do this

You can't restrict the admin, they can do and see everything, all the time

No, I'm pretty sure this has been brought up before, but nobody has ever created a module/plugin for it. This would require custom development.
