User only Read

[Salomoniki]

The feature

Brilliant app. There are only two things missing to complete happiness. An account option (user) with read-only access would be useful. No backup, editing, etc. For family members. The second thing is translation into other languages, but that's a detail

Platform

• Server
• Web
• Mobile

I second this idea. It would be great to be able to define some allowed/forbidden actions for each account (or a group of accounts). For example, everything is forbidden except creating albums and download photos (which would be ideal for sharing photos with the family for example)

I am also looking for this feature, especially for a family user, most of the time we will upload image through phone or laptop, and may view it in the TV, at that time, a readonly user for TV is needed

this would be amazing, especially with group-level access functionality!
that way we could share albums with an entire group, for example, and the respective access settings take care of the rest, instead of indivually sharing albums with users and setting rights one by one.

Another vote for this feature 🤘 would love to be able to have family join albums, but not have ability to upload

Read only could possibly be implemented as quota 0 GiB and have -1 GiB mean Unlimited.

But an explicit toggle in the Create User dialog and in user settings is probably better UI.
