Files upload by users

Piwigo offers the possibility for users to upload images. in order to do it:

  1. authorize upload on any categories (Administration, Categories, Manage, edit or Administration panel, Categories, Properties, Upload)
  2. give write rights on directories for ugo (user, group, other)

Files uploaded by users are not directly visible on the website, they must be validated by an administrator. For that purpose, an administrator must go in Administration, Pictures, Waiting in order to validate or to refuse the files proposed, then to synchronize filesystem with database.
