belonging to one or more groups of users

ombres-et-lumieres

I 'm wondering if it is possible to subscribe a user to different admin groups.
I tried to do it and, if I had no problem to check the box in front of her name in different panel groups, and if I had no red flag back when I clicked the register button, after that, her name arrived unchecked, as if a user could belong only to one group.
Or, in the reality, a user can have access to different categories of albums, and another one to just one category.
The only way to organise that is to create a special group including the albums of the two , three, four, ..., groups to which it should belong.
You see where this way of working drives: to a dramatic increase of the numbers of admin groups, just to cover all the possibilities, and, mathematically, it drives to a close infinity of groups against a quite finite quantity.
So, I suppose it exists another solution and someone who 's subscribed on the site can also participate to different admin groups. And I didn't find how to do it.
May be someone could help me.

Sorry, no. Groups are really exclusive. (I do not think I understand the bit about checking different panel groups. This seems not a standard Zenphoto option.)

Anyway, a Group represents a specific set of permissions, so belonging to more than one is not sensible. Of course, it is not needed to assign users to groups in the first place. You can treat each individually. You can also use "templates" to assign an initial state to a user for whom you expect to later make refinements.

I forgot that possibility. In fact, when I can use the most complicated way to do something, I do it.
Thanks for your answer.
