Just installed Gallery 2 and working fine. I have Gallery 1.5 running and I made it private so that any new user will always create private albums. I did this by editing classes/album.php to have default from everybody to nobody.

The permissioning system is quite different in Gallery 2. Basically I have a blank main Gallery page and allowed Registered users to view item and add sub-albums. To make this private, I understand that the user would have to edit permissions each time to remove Registered users to view items. I would like to avoid this and have new sub-albums only viewed by the user.

Hope this makes sense and I did search for this topic but did not find the exact answer I was looking for.

Thanks,

New albums you create inherit the parent album's permissions.

If you're using the User Album module, albums created for the user override those settings and set it so the user is owner of that album.

Are you looking for something where there is a set of default permissions for newly created albums? If so, that doesn't yet exist, but there is a feature request for it that can be voted on here: http://gallery.menalto.com/sfvote/all

Actually it is User Album Module that will work for me until a new permission album feature is developed...I voted for it with a lot of votes.

Thanks for opening my eyes to the User Album Module... : )
