Will they only have the ability to see/upload to their albums? Is their an automatic way in the script to set a new user to only be allowed to both see and upload to their own album?

What I did was sign up an account and saw all the albums, I don't want them to see all of the albums, only theirs.

All the user rights can be dictated through the above means. You can specify exactly which rights users are given upon registration. For more info on what each of these rights are (and determining which combination is best for your users), you can read here: http://www.zenphoto.org/2008/07/an-overview-of-zenphoto-users/

I want new registrants to be assigned no user group at all, I'd like the "user group" option to be completely blank when I review the user list. In my situation, they're being assigned to administrators when created.

Also, I think it would be good to have this plugin take care of a few things for administrators. Basically it creates a personal album for a user, with the option to create it unpublished. Which is awesome. Shouldn't it automatically assign certain rights to a user upon creation though? For my purposes I'd want them to be assigned only "Album" and "Upload" rights. So basically, when they create an account, they can begin to immediately upload pictures to their album. And also, I don't have to worry that they'll have full access to the site's administration.

If you use a template as I said above, your users won't actually be a part of that group. Users can't be assigned to a template. Rather, when you use a template as I described above, it will simply give the user the template's rights and nothing more. This way, you can specify exactly which rights new users will have without giving them administrator rights. What you're describing is exactly what templates are for

Sorry, I see what you're saying, but how to you set what group/template new users are placed when they create their account?

The option is under the options for the `register_user` plugin.

It worked and is now how I need it. If only I had looked deeper and more attentively. Sorry for the hassle! I think it might be the stress of the project, lol. But thank you so much! I appreciate it!

Any time. Glad you got it working!

Just one last thing: is there a right I can check or uncheck that when they visit `/zp-core/admin.php` they won't see the gallery stats? I just don't want them to know how many albums and images (and the Installation Information!) that the script is working with.

Users should only be able to see that page if they have `Overview rights`.

I have them set with only `Upload` and `Album` rights... Maybe there's an unknown issue?

Hmm, sounds like that might be a bug in zenphoto. You may want to file a bug on the bugtracker.

Alrighty. Just wondering, since I now understand the difference between `groups` and `templates`, how do I go about deleting a `group`? I made a group "clients" but now I don't need it.

1. A user must have overview rights to view the statistics.
2. Manage the groups from the admin/groups tab.

1. My users do *not* have `overview` rights, only `Upload` and `Album`! :-\

2. That was obvious, lol, thanks. Sorry, my browser was messing up the delete button for the group.

If your users do not have overview rights they should not even have the overview tab. Is that not the case for you?

They don't have the overview tab. What it is, is that I'm using the ZP Focus theme and the "Admin" dropdown (when the word Admin is clicked) goes to `/zp-core/admin.php`, `admin.php` is showing them that info. I don't think that should stuff should be possible to see if they're not given the rights to, regardless of what links the theme provides.

I guess the biggest issue is that visibility of the installation information.

The user should not be able to see that page. We will fix this, probably in tonight's build.

Excellent. I'm excited that my use has led to fixing something and making it even better! lol.
