Protect folders/galleries?

03 Nov 2022, 18:46

Thanks for a really good product that I just upgraded to PRO.
Everything works well, but I have a single problem.
I have several photo albums, each in a separate folder. In these folders I have a lot of subfolders.
I would like to be able to control who has access to these photo albums, but can't make it happen.
If I create a user called "Høyer Nyvang" and I give this user access to the album "Høyer Nyvang". No other users should have access to this album.

But when I log in with, for example, the user "Høyer Nyvang", I do not get access to the folders and galleries below. I only grant myself (Thomas Nyvang) and my wife (Joy Nyvang) *GLOBAL rights. And it works fine. We have access to it all. 

Is there something I'm misunderstanding or doing wrong?

It is supposed to work like you have noted. Could you perhaps send me LOGIN for one of the users by private message or email (karl AT photo.gallery) so I can test?

I'm not quite sure what "/index" path is doing grouped in the access restrictions to be honest. Is the home-page supposed to be password protected? The "/index" page actually only represents a single page, and is not recursive. I don't think this is the cause of the problem however.

Also, you might try creating a test folder /Gallerier/test with some subfolders /Gallerier/test1 etc, as it would be good to eliminate the chance that the issue is caused by empty spaces in your folder names and/or special latin characters Ø etc.
