I need little help with album permissions, for now I have
main album (20 sub albums)
- user1: view all versions, add to cart
- user2: view all versions, add to cart
One of the albums (album20) is hidden and has the following permissions:
- hidden
- everybody: view all versions, add to cart
- guest: view all versions, add to cart
- user1: view all versions, add to cart
- user2: view all versions, add to cart
-- user3: view all versions, add to cart, add sub-albums, add sub-items
All users can view album20 by going directly to example.com/v/album20. That will allow them to view, and download any pictures. However when user3 logins from the home page, it creates either erroer404 or "Security Violation: The action you attempted is not permitted." When I click on "Back to Gallery" link it is still displays error404 or security violation. When I navigate to .com/v/album20 it works fine, user3 can create new sub-albums and everything works fine.
What do I need to change so user3 can login from home page, and will see album20? I do not want any other unregistered users or guests to see anything unless they know exact URL for hidden albums.
Thank you

That's because you don't have anything on the home page they can't view. Create a dummy image or thumb they can view on the main page and the error will go away. Even though they can view album20, since it's hidden they can't see it until they visit it.
Probably the best/easiest thing would be to create a dummy image that all users can view on the main page, you could even set it so they can only "View Item" so they can only see the thumbnail.

nivekiam,
The only change I had to do was to allow "Everybody" [core] view item, and uncheck apply to sub albums. Now home page can be displayed, the only thing I would like to have is that user3 will see album20 upon logging in. Album20 is hidden and will not appear on the home page unless it is visited first. Can it be displayed?
Thank you

Nope, either unhide it and set permissions accordingly or live with it how it is.
