How to quickly share an album with others in the FotoWeb Pro interface.
To share an album you first have to open it on a separate tab in FotoWeb Pro by clicking its title in the Albums panel.
Next, make sure Grid view is selected (press G to activate it) and click on the Share button to the far right in the album information panel above the grid.
To share the album with other FotoWeb users or groups, simply start typing the name of the person or the group you want to add. You can also set the permissions of each person or group to choose whether they should be allowed to Contribute assets to the album, and whether they should be allowed to download files.
The permissions that are set on the album effectively overrides the permissions on the archive in which the assets originate. Hence, a user may be able to see and download files through an album that he would otherwise not be able to access through an archive.
The owner of an album can allow other users to download assets from the album by sharing it. This requires a special permission set on the group level, delegate download rights. If this permission is given, the album owner sees a Download checkbox in the sharing dialog for each album. Download permissions can then be delegated when sharing an album, when getting a public link to the album, and when showcasing an album publicly on the FotoWeb homepage.
When an album owner shares an album and delegates download rights from the album, invited users can also download assets, so long as the album owner has permissions to download the assets from their original archive. In other words, a user may not give permissions to download assets which he himself cannot download.
When sharing an album, you can also create a public link that anyone can access, and it is also possible to showcase an album on the home screen of all users that log on to FotoWeb.
When someone shares an album with you, you will be notified live in the FotoWeb Pro user interface; the Notifications "box" next to your user avatar in the top right corner will light up and let you know that you've been given access to the album. You can then navigate to the album by clicking on the notification.
