I created a group named "GalleryAdmin" to my phpBB board, and added someone to the group. phpBB indicates that they are now a member. The group successfully appears in my group listing in Coppermine. In Coppermine, I've assigned the same privileges as owned by the Coppermine administrator - yet, when this person logs in, they do not see the row of administrator buttons.
For reference, here are the particulars of my bridge:

Thanks

Now the troubleshooting section of the bridging documentation makes sense to me! I never did find phpbb3.ini.php in my phpBB Forum; that's because it is located in my_gallery/bridge. And since I had upgraded from phpBB2 to phpBB3, I did indeed have to take that step.
However, when I changed the value for "GalleryAdmin" (the group I created for gallery administration) in this file, my friend could now administrate the gallery - but I couldn't! Simple fix: I added myself to the GalleryAdmin group. Now I remain the administrator for the Forum, but we are both administrators for the gallery.
Thanks for the documentation - I'm closing this one.
