1 user post to 1 category

[twotoneskapunk]

I would like to set up coppermine to allow just 1 user to upload and make albums to one specific category. Is there an easy way to do this? If the admin has to premake the albums I can do this also.

Thanks in advance

Hello,
let me say:
1.) My english is very bad.
2.) I have solved this problem.
3.) You can decide, which user can do the following:
a.) create albums in any category, he wants
b.) Upload Pictures into these albums via Batch
c.) Upload picture into these albums via PHP
d.) If you give to this User an own FTP-Account, he can Upload and than batch without help of the administrator.

He cannot:
Make changes in the config-menue (Admin.php), groupmgr, usermgr, catmgr, banning.php, delete.php(albums), delete picures.

If you contact me in my board, i will give you the URL of my sandbox.

Sigi is proposing a hack he has come up with. It's not the regular coppermine method nor do we recommend it. In fact, assigning FTP-access to others is asking for trouble and giving them full control over your server.
I've seen hacks like the one proposed by Sigi before - they all were vulnerable.

If the admin has to premake the albums I can do this also.

That's exactly what you're suppossed to do. Create the albums in advance. Add the special user to a new custom group. Only allow this group to upload at all. This is all being covered in the docs.

Could you help me assign permission for one album to a specific group? Maybe tell me what section this is in on the docs because I can't find it anywhere. I may be over looking it. I have the albums made and when I click on assigned albums under the group it says "This group has no special access." Under the permissions for the album there is an option for Album can be viewed by but I want it to be viewed by everyone but only a certian group can upload to it.

Thanks again in advance.
