On my Piwigo installation, I'm having issues with permissions, when creating child albums. Example:

The group "admin" has access permission for the parent album "A". Now, if I create a child album "B" within album A, I'd expect the group "admin" to have access to B. Instead, for both A and B, the admin-group is deleted from the list of permitted groups and all members of the admin-group are listed in the list of permitted users. I have to restore the settings for A and B using the "appley to child-albums" checkbox.

Since group-membership might change, this not a good behaviour.
I'm I doing something wrong/missing some settings or is this ab bug?

Looking forward to an answer,
Bibo

Hello
when creating a child album A.1 from a private album A, the permission are not inherited until you explicitly said so though the check-box or the local config

then about your issue, let's me rephrase in order to check I'm understanding correctly
you are starting your an album A, private, with a group 'Admin' set as a permitted group.
you create a child album (please could you specify exactly how and with whic settings?) A.1
A.1 is private : the permissions are no group allowed, users from the 'admin' group allowed
A is still private : the permissions are no group allowed, users from the 'admin' group allowed

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I just double checked:
A.1 is private : the permissions are no group allowed, users from the 'admin' group allowed
A is still private : the permissions for group "admin" are indeed allowed (Must have overseen this before), users from the 'admin' group allowed.

I set the permissions for A via the GUI at 'album -> manage -> permissions'. The I go to Album A -> manage child albums -> create child album.

If you say, I have to explicitly set permission inheratance, could you give me a quick guide on how to do this?

The local/config/config.inc.php as shown in the LocalFile Editor was empty.
I just added

$conf['inheritance_by_default'] = true;

as described in the reference file. Changes after that:
A.1 is private : the permissions for group "admin" are allowed, users from the 'admin' group allowed
A is still private : the permissions for group "admin" are allowed, users from the 'admin' group allowed
So, this makes es better but does not completely resolve the issue.

Unfortunately I was not able to find reference for a similar case.
Tank you for you help!

I'll close die to inactivity and also because I've since moved away from Piwigo. :)
