Can I change default user gallery access permissions?

[Informator]

Hi everybody,

I was just wondering if there were any way to adjust the default access permission for user galleries. I use CPG for the double purpose of providing public access photos of the shows we put on, which are carefully chosen; and secondly, so that all members of the group can view the unedited photos and uplaod their own.

My problem: by default all user galleries are public access. I want all user galleries to default to viewable by members of the Registered group only. This will prevent my members from displaying photos which should really be kept from the public gaze and could have a rather bad effect on our reputation! The huge majority have little to no knowledge of computer tech, so wouldn't think to check permissions.

So, is there any way to:

1) Change the default permission of all user galleries?
2) Lock this, so that users themselves cannot have public personal galleries unless the admin changes this?

The first one will suffice if the second cannot be achieved

Thanks for all the help!

I have the same question: how to set default access permission for albums?  I.e., change the default in the "Album can be viewed by" drop-down to something other than "Everybody (public album)"?

I don't mind letting users change the permission, at their discretion; I just don't want albums to be public by default.

Any takers?

Thank you!  I was searching with "default group album."  My mistake.

Thanks Paver - that's just what I wanted. I too was using a different search string, so posted up anyway. I appreciate all your help!
