MG 2.2 Let users upload to existing album inside category?

[geeberry]

I have a bunch of albums I've created that should let my forum members upload. However, every album has the permission `
Can add media items: Album owner only`

I have tried several combinations of attempting to allow any one of my users upload to these existing albums, including using the Rest API to change it, to no avail.
Is there a solution for this?

Click the Change privacy button.



Change the setting and save.

Hi Brogan! Thanks for the quick reply
That option is not available for me, though I am super admin.

I did create these albums programmatically using the REST API - not sure if that would effect anything?

Check this permission:



There is also a moderator permission for all albums:

Still no luck (updated all my add-ons to latest as well)
This is my category structure if it matters? The Builds category is set as container only, and each child category is album-only. I get no privacy options when adding an album or attempting to edit an existing album

If you reproduce it in a demo I can take a look: https://xenforo.com/demo/

Sure - thank you!

I set up the categories, added an album, set the perms on the admin user appropriately I believe

Apparently this is as designed.

It isn't possible to set album privacy permissions in categories.

It's only possible when creating a personal album outside the category,

Ah dang...ok. Probably no support on the horizon for such a thing I suppose? I have 400+ albums that would be nice to keep categorized + user-interactable instead of just flat uploaded
