Which Category Can You Use in Control Panel

Users tin upload images in frontend in 2 places. In User Control Panel or directly in Category view.

The main difference of both places is:

• in Category view, users cannot create subcategories, they cannot publish, unpublish, delete the images or subcategories.
• in Category view, users can upload to categories of other users (if they have upload rights).
• in User Command Panel only owners of the category can create/edit main category, subcategories and can upload, delete, publish and unpublish

To manage category in User Control Panel, y'all need to have ownership for this category and all the rights. If there is no selected category for user in administration, at the kickoff, every user is able (if enabled in Options) to create principal category and subcategories. Ownership will exist automatically set for each user.

To upload into some category in Category View, merely upload rights are needed.

Example:

A) In Options, frontend User Control Panel will be enabled. When user A goes to User Control Panel link in frontend, he/she needs to log in. After log in, he/she tin can create Main Category. If created, then user gets buying for this category. This ways, only this user can edit this category, create and edit subcategories, upload, publish/unpublish and delete the images.

B) Administrator sets only upload rights for Category C for the User B. In frontend, User B cannot manage the category, cannot create subcategories for this category, he/she just can upload images to this category in Category View

User Control Console

In User tab, users get information about how many subcategories they can create and how many images they can upload. Users tin can upload own avatar (if enabled in Options).
