sorry but i am brandnew in ZEN !! but i enjoy the time i experience - now I seem to have a problem :

I will create a database for our group of friends with one large central album with ALL photos and e.g. 10 albums for each freiend one into which i like to place again ALL photos so that they can create their individual album - means delete rearrange etc with their theme etc.

Now I have secured the access generally to the database in zen register through my website security with one password

I have the 1 administrator - myself with ALL rights
I need now the setting for

a) allowing the individual friend to see only ( allowing no changes, uploads etc etc.) the complete album ( my Album with all photos)

b) allowing him to work exclusively ONLY on his individual album the administrator has set up with all photos copied into this album

How do I have to set the rights in this box of various rights ?

If I tick the only file he may work with ( his file name) which other of the available ticks may I tick on so that he CAN NOT work in the other albums just only in his ??

Thank you for helping me I am lost

Please read the article "An overview of zenphoto users (Rights management)" in the user guide.

thank you I see this, BUT it does not explain how to change just the login name for a user ???

BUT I have another question :

how can one copy from the gallery a complete album to the own computer ??? Thank you for help

1. Admin -> admin tab -> change the name and save..;-)

2. Generally Zenphoto is filesystem based, so you can just copy the album to your computer via FTP. If you set descriptions, titles after uploading etc. all those data will be lost except if you have attached these info to the images as EXIF data before uploading.

Otherwise you could try the database backup function and import that backup on the local install. (test before doing importing things).
