Access to private albums

[stanley77]

I am building a site for a friends photography bushiness and recommended Coppermine since I have used it years ago on another site. She wants clients to have access only to private galleries/albums. With some trial and error, I have private user albums that only the user can see which is great except the admin account does not have access to it at all. I have searched the forum prior to posting and see others with similar problems, but no real solution given.

Is it possible to have private user albums that the admin has access to and the admin is only one allowed to upload?

Thanks

The easiest solution I can think of is using the Album can be viewed by setting.
Create a group for each set of members you want to have viewing access to a particular album.

Thanks Jeff, that is what I was thinking, create a user group for each client and have an album set specifically for that group. If that client has other family or friends that may want to view those photos then they can register and be added by the admin to that client group. Just thought I would ask to see if there was something simpler I am missing.
