Default access rights?

[johnnyfaux]

Hi, I'm running phocagallery 3.1.5 on Joomla 1.7 and am making a website where people can create articles, create image categories, upload images into those categories, and then upload those categories into their articles.

Now, what I want is for the users to only have access to their own categories. I don't want the users to access the categories of other people.

I understand that in the backend, this can be done by entering a specific category and assigning it to a specific user (in the access rights section). But if I have 10,000 users, and there are 10,000 categories, this can become tedious and problematic.

Is there a way to make a default setting so that every new category is only accesible by the user who created it?

The reason why I ask is that - as a new user - I can make an article, click the phoca gallery editor button, and insert a gallery that another person made... And this is a big problem for me.

Hi, in case, user will create the category (main) in frontend in UCP then is is assigned only for this user.
