< p > Each photo has a < strong > privacy level< / strong > (a lock). Each user also has a privacy level (a key). There are 5 privacy levels:< / p >
< ol >
< li > None< / li >
< li > < em > Contacts< / em > < / li >
< li > < em > Friends (which is higher than a contact)< / em > < / li >
< li > < em > Family (which is higher than a friend)< / em > < / li >
< li > < em > Admins (which is higher than any other level)< / em > < / li >
< / ol >
< p > Higher levels have permissions on lower levels. For a given user, the higher the privacy level, the more photos he can see.< / p >
< p > For example, if photo "peter_wedding-0024.jpg" has < em > "Family"< / em > privacy level, then:< / p >
< ul >
< li > Peter (who is an < em > "Admin"< / em > ) will see the photo because < em > "Admins"< / em > can see all photos< / li >
< li > Beth (who is a < em > "Family"< / em > member) will also see the photo< / li >
< li > Mary (who is just a < em > "Friend"< / em > ) won't see the photo< / li >

< p > A user that has no permission to see the content of a category won't see the category itself, not even its title. The same principle applies to a tag.< / p >

< p > You can set the privacy level of a user on < span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Users » Manage< / span > screen.< / p >

< legend > Permissions on categories< / legend >
< p > If privacy levels do not fit your needs, you can also manage permissions on categories for a user or a group. You can manage permissions on photos and categories at the same time, without conflict.< / p >

< p > You can forbid access to categories. Switch the category access type to
"private" if you want to manage permissions.< / p >
< p > You can set a category to private by editing a single category
(< span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Categories » Manage
» edit< / span > ) or by setting options to your whole category tree
(< span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Categories »
Properties » Public / Private< / span > ).< / p >
< p > Once the category is private, you can manage permissions for groups and
users with 3 screens:< / p >
< ul >
< li > < span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Users » Manage »
permissions action< / span > (one link per user)< / li >
< li > < span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Users » Groups »
permissions action< / span > (one link per group)< / li >
< li > < span class = "pwgScreen" > Administration » Categories » Manage » edit
category permissions action< / span > (one link per category)< / li >
