I feel like I must be doing something obviously wrong but it's not clear to me what it might be. I did a G2 import and all of the albums came over along with the owners. However, all of the albums are not editable by the user who owns them - if as admin I go and explicitly set Registered users to have priveledges (Edit, Add) on the album, then all registered users, not just the owner, can organize it, add pictures, etc. How does one set it up so that only the owner has these priveledges?

As an aside, in the Edit Permissions dialog box, the album name is clickable and shows up as a link to "javascript:show(1310)" (for instance), but when I click it, nothing happens. Is this a sign something isn't working properly?

Doesn't look like it's planned to be fixed until 3.1

Make sure you're using the latest experimental code:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Upgrading

Clicking on it should make a slight difference in how the dialog looks.

Huh, so it seems like all permissions are essentially cooperative at the moment? Either all registered users can do something or none can?

Oh, I see - it's more clear when I go to an album inside of another. In that case, I can click on the album name that I want to edit (ie, either the current one or one of its parents). However, when I'm in either the top-level album or an album in the top-level album, only one clickable name appears and nothing changes when I click it.

(I upgraded to the latest experimental this morning)

You can create groups and assign users to groups, but yeah, right now that's how it is.

Because it doesn't have an "album navigation", just a bread crumb. So if you click on a top level album to edit permissions it doesn't list out lower level albums.

Also, take note of permissions in G3. If you deny access to a parent, you can't unhide a child. Meaning you can't have hidden albums that have visible albums inside of them, but you can have visible albums that have hidden albums inside of them.
