Title: Permission to view album by user - not by group
Post by: Nutter on April 04, 2005, 01:44:05 AM
Is there a way to allow a single user to view an album without having to make a specific group for them?  So, I've got John and Christy Smith both in the group Smiths.  But, I go on a fishing trip with John and don't want Christie to be able to view this album.  Can I just allow John to view the album without making a new group?

Thanks,
- Ryan

I'm afraid not. The next version (no release date yet) has password protected albums that can do a similar thing though.

So, my best bet would be to have an individual group for each album I make (album01 = John & Christy, album02 = Bob & Jane, etc)?  Is there an upper limit as to how many groups can be put in (and is reasonable to work with)?  For that matter, same question with users - upper limits?

at the moment, the easiest way to do this is as follows;

Say you have albums for adults only, family, women only, men only, children only, fishing.

You would put John in adults, men, fishing.
You would put Christy in adults, women.
You wou;ld put your father in adults, family, men.
You would put you daughter in family, children

etc, etc.

So your fishing trip with John, this album would be set to be viewed by the fishing group only.

There is no limit to groups or users, and users can be in multiple groups, so you could expand on this as you like.

Will the newer versions allow each user to give access to only certain users they allow?
